Garden expert Tonya Ashworth talks about different kinds of beneficial bugs that you find in the garden. She focuses on predatory bugs: braconid wasp, green lacewing, minute pirate bug, spider, and praying mantis. Each of these bugs feed on another bug that would be considered a garden pest. Some of these beneficials can eat thousands of harmful insects in their lifetime. Tonya talks about what each beneficial bug likes to eat and what you can do to attract each of them to your garden.
