Beneficial Insect Collection

Beneficial insects are our garden allies. Many predatory insects such as ladybugs, hoverflies and parasitic wasps eat pest insects such as aphids. Many species are important in helping garden materials to compost. You can plant varieties that will attract beneficial insects to your garden. One of the most useful flower shapes for beneficial insects are umbelliferous flowers whose structure contains scores of tiny flowers arranged on a more of less flat or umbrella-shaped plane.
