Insects as Natural Pesticides

[redochre]

Since organic gardening is on the rise, it is also worth mentioning that insects play a big role in it.  If more gardeners and plant growers are aware of the specific species of beneficial insects, then the use  of chemical pesticides will be significantly lowered. 

 

Aphids, for example, can be eliminated by ladybugs or ladybirds. Other insects have their own specific preys.
