Nature is filled with "good bugs", crawling and flying creatures whose diet consists mainly of the pests that ravage garden plants.

Here is a list of those good bugs. Simply click on the links below to see the plants that they like to visit for food and shelter. Intersperse these plants among the "problem pest areas" in your yard. Remember, though: Many chemical sprays work on both bad and good bugs. To keep the good bugs in your yard, eliminate insecticide use in the areas where they live and work.

For more info about beneficial insects, there is a wonderful book (from which we have included pictures on the pages below) from the University of California Press, written by UC Davis Entomologist Mary Louise Flint: "The Natural Enemies Handbook".
