Good insects play a crucial role in maintaining the health and balance of a garden ecosystem. These beneficial organisms, such as ladybugs, lacewings, and bees, help control pests by preying on harmful insects that can damage plants. They also assist in pollination, ensuring the reproduction of flowering plants and the production of fruits and vegetables.
In addition to their pest control and pollination services, good insects contribute to soil health through their waste products and decomposition activities. By attracting and supporting populations of beneficial insects in a garden, gardeners can reduce the need for chemical pesticides, promote plant growth, and create a more sustainable environment for all living organisms within the space. Overall, the presence of good insects is essential for maintaining a thriving and flourishing garden ecosystem.
