what an oxymoron, huh? most people don't think bugs could be beneficial in any way. BUT, in the garden a lot are. ladybugs, for instance, eat aphids off of roses. you can buy them in bulk and put up a house specially made for them to keep ladybugs handy. there's always something out there that will eat the others so do a little research and don't be afraid to try it out. it sure beats using pesticides.

Insects includes bugs but not all insects are bugs. Like my name. I am really a beetle and known across the pond as a Ladybird Beetle, I believe. Eat aphids like they were going out of style!

thanks for the clarification and love that username!

Yours is great, too...*grin*
