EMBRACING BENEFICIAL BUGS

Gross, grody, ewww, skivvy, icky, creepy, heebee jeebees…  all terms that I have heard describing bugs, often directly before or after the bug’s demise.  It happens… our instinctual response takes over.  My hope is that we can give these insects a little more thought, resist the urge to fight or take flight, and become fascinated with their unique and often beautiful qualities as well as their vast benefits to our gardens and beyond.
