Inspect your garden for helpful insects By SHARON KESSEY Most of the insects that show up in our gardens are helpful to the health of our plants. Either they kill and eat pests that damage our plants or they help the plants reproduce by pollinating them. So it's important to know what each insect is before killing it by stomping or spraying. Here are some of the helpful insects and how they eliminate unwanted pests. Prizes — amounting to more than $1,000 in merchan- dise and gift certificates, with more being added daily — will be awarded to the three top-scoring performers. Among the prize donors are such popular local busi- nesses as Sky River Music, The Loft, Firehouse Pizza, Knick's Family Fun Zone, Hair Goddess, Wholesome Goods, Dandy Lions, Wild Oak, Modern Cleaners, Round Table Pizza, First Love Tattoos, A Mane Attraction, Luigi's, Tobacco and More, and Shari's Restaurant, among many others.

Flying beetles such as ladybugs and leathery-looking soldier beetles feed on aphids, scale, thrips, spider mites, and mealy bugs. Lacewing larvae eat aphids, leafhoppers, mealybugs, mites, thrips, whiteflies, and other insects. (The adults feed on nectar, pollen, and honeydew.) cutworms, and root maggots. Dragonflies catch mosquitoes, flies, and midges in mid-air. Tiny (one-eighth-inch) pirate Ground beetles eat slugs, snails, bugs feed on thrips, spider mites, and insect eggs. Parasitic wasps lay their eggs in the eggs of cutworms, codling best pollinators and are used in many of our commercial fruit and nut orchards, but other bees, hover flies, flying beetles, and any other insects that visit multiple flowers also do a good job.

Tachinid flies attack certain caterpillars and beetles. many insects in the area (including their larval forms) and abetting the efforts of the beneficial ones can help control plant-damaging or oth- erwise harmful pests naturally, and can help increase our fruit and seed yields. These are some of the insects that help keep pests in check and prevent the damage they might do to our garden plants. A large num- ber of other insects help by pollinat- ing plants. Any garden production of seeds or fruit depends on male pollen grains combining with the female ova (pollination), and many plants rely on some helper (insect, bird, wind, etc.) to move the pollen grains. Honeybees are some of the So check an insect's ID before squishing or otherwise killing it; otherwise you may be helping all the pests it would have eaten sur- vive.
