Beneficial Insects

Beneficial insects are species that help maintain healthy ecosystems and support agriculture by naturally controlling pests or aiding in pollination. Examples include ladybugs, which eat aphids that damage plants; bees and butterflies, which pollinate crops; and parasitic wasps, which target harmful insects. By encouraging these beneficial insects, farmers and gardeners can reduce the need for chemical pesticides, leading to more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. Overall, beneficial insects play a vital role in promoting plant health, ensuring food security, and maintaining biodiversity.
