Good Bugs

I'm not a big fan of bugs. Living in Florida I have become "bait" for mosquitoes. There can be 1 mosquito around a group of people and it will find me.

Good Bugs:
Ladybug-eats aphids
Dragonfly-eats mosquitoes
Spider
Ground beetle
Hover fly
Green Lacewing- called "aphid lion"
Bumblebee
Paper wasp
Butterfly
Honeybee
Earthworm
Centipede and Millipede
Praying Mantis
Assassin bug
Firefly

Each of these bugs is beneficial in their own way. The good bugs eat "bad" bugs, spread pollen from flower to flower, aerate soil naturally, produce natural fertilizers through feces and "castings" and are the best form of natural (organic) pest-control.

So next time you're in the garden, watch out for the good guys!
