While there are certain bugs that you don't necessarily want to invite into your backyard, insects play a vital role in the biodiversity of our gardens. From pest control to pollinating your plants, there's a lot to love about these small but mighty creatures, but which ones should we be prioritizing, and how do you invite them in?
Seasoned gardeners will tell you exactly how troublesome insects like aphids can be. These pesky pests feed on your plants and, in large enough populations, will lead to discoloration of your leaves and stunted shoots. As plant care goes, they aren't the sort of insects you want to encourage into your backyard. The best way to curb their numbers, however, is by inviting other insects into your garden instead.
