Insects R Us


I love to spend time with the insects in the garden. 

I find myself becoming very zen watching their behavior.  

I  enjoy killing aphids by hand. 

I do not use poison. 


Dragonflies are 99.9 % effective at hunting. The best predator.

I bought an egg sack earlier in the year and 3 or 4 occupy parts of the whole garden.

Proud to have attracted a Monarch butterfly

An elusive jumping spider

Damselfly. Also 99.9 % effective at killing what it intends to kill. A pollinator and a defender.

Hello, Ladybug.
