For every pest, nature has created a natural enemy. In fact, about 97% of all insect species are beneficial. So then, why do we spray broad spectrum insecticides to kill 100% of biodiversity when our target is only the 3% of pests? Unfortunately, the use of chemicals has declined the population of predators and created pests that are resistant to most insecticides. The current model for growing is outdated and maladaptive. We must stop killing with chemicals and start learni...ng from nature. Increasing biodiversity is the only long term solution to grow healthy plants. . . . . . . . . . #biocontrol #gardenpests #bugs #insects #greenfly #plantcow #entomology #interestingfacts #naturalenemies #pests #aphid #quoteoftheday #sustainablefarming #livingsoil #livingsoils #livingsoilcannabis #sustainability #mothernature #savetheplanet #savethebees #agriculture #farminglife #farming #goodbugs #goodbugsforthegarden #ladybug #ladybeetle #greenthumb #gardening #organicfarming

To put that into perspective, they’ve been around before the first dinosaur appeared on earth! https://www.growliv.com//8-things-you-didnt-know-about-aph

Green lacewing can complete its life cycle within 27 days. Even though the larval stage is the only stage that can feed on pests, it has a ferocious appetite. A single larva can consume up to 400 pests in its 2-3 week life span. #greenlacewing #aphid #organicgrowing #lifecycle Understanding how predator and prey life cycles work is crucial for a good IPM plan....
