Join us for a talk with the CSU Extension Southeast Area Garden Club in Lamar and learn about beneficial insects. We’ll discuss:
- How some insects are garden allies that control pests, pollinate plants, and support healthy ecosystems.
- How some insects play essential roles in natural pest management and plant productivity, for example pest control, pollination, and nutrient cycling.
- How some insects reduce the need for chemical pesticides and promote biodiversity, making gardens and farms more sustainable.
- What some of the most commonly known beneficial insects are, like ladybugs, lacewings, praying mantises, bees, and butterflies.
- How to identify the larvae and the adults, and how to attract more beneficial insects to your plants.
