Bugs That Help Garden Plants
Ladybugs are one of the best bus that you can have in your garden, they eat aphids and similar scale bugs that attack garden plants and flowers. The reason that aphids are bad for garden plants and flowers is that they suck the sap from plants, eventually killing the stem and causing the plant to rot. If you find ladybugs in another area of your yard, catch them and bring them to your garden or flower bed, especially rose bed, so the ladybugs will eat the aphids.
Spiders are beneficial to garden plants and flowers, due to the fact that they eat many flying pests like flies and mosquitoes. We generally don’t like spiders and tend to kill every one we see, but if you see a spider scurrying around in your garden, let him live, he’s eating what’s bugging you in your garden.
