Sometimes the fight against pest problems can feel relentless. You try everything from using pest-repellent plants to removing pests by hand, and yet some pests have a way of sticking around and multiplying quicker than you can get rid of them. When this is the case, turning to beneficial insects is often the most effective measure.
Beneficial insects are those insects that work hard to maintain a healthy ecosystem and support plant life. They often do so by preying on pests that destroy plants and pollinating plants in your garden. You may already be familiar with bees and butterflies as beneficial insects, but this group extends much further – sometimes even beyond the naked eye.
