Bugs that are good for you

[Weevil]

Many people believe that “the only good bug is a dead bug.” But not all insects are pests. Ladybugs are among the most gifted aphid hunters around. Honeybees are valuable to farmers for the pollination of crops. And a shy insect called the Spined Soldier Bug could be your garden's best friend.

The Spined Soldier Bug (scientific name: Podisus maculiventris) is a natural predator of over 100 different insect pests. It’s found in the Eastern and Great Lakes areas of the United States.

This bug protects vegetable gardens, flower beds, and orchards by destroying harmful insects while leaving the garden or orchard intact.

Soldier Bugs eat destructive insects while they are in their larval (caterpillar or grub) stage, which is the stage in which they cause the most damage to plants.
Adult Spined Soldier Bugs are pale brown to tan. They are shield-shaped with prominent spurs on the “shoulders,” immediately behind the head.

I just got this somewhere. I think it speaks volumes about how valuable bugs can be to a community.

Also if your cotton fields are infested with Beetles. When did I side with an Asshole? Mr. G? I don't think I really sided with him.

A bug is a bug, keep it away from me and I'm happy, it comes near me then it needs to die.

Sorry even ladybugs are germ filled creatures that I just can't deal with.

I've got news for you Nic but you're a germ filled creature yourself. And if you were a gardener you'd realize the value of a great Aphid hunter.

Firstly .. I'm aware of that, I know I carry more germs than the average bug/animal.

Secondly .. I happen to hate gaderning, there are bugs involved. Also you need to get dirty hands (gloves or not and I don't deal well with that).

Thirdly .. Have you heard of fears??? I have them, one of my main ones being that of bugs.

I understand what your saying, I accept that, but you have to understand that some of us out here don't deal well with even the thought of being near a bug.

Sorry to sound so bitchy and all, but you just spoke to me like I'm some sort of an idiot and I don't take to kindly to that either.

Have a nice bug filled day

Hey Nic I happen to be an Idiot and I was just speaking in my native tongue. Sorry to have offended you

I grew to love gardening in my Weed filled youth and enjoy it very much now. It is dirty I suppose but it sure cuts down on your Valentines Day flower bill
