My garden has had it’s share of bad bugs this year, spider mites (the worst infestation I have ever had), aphids, japanese beetles, slugs… the list goes on. But, right now, my garden is also filled with good bugs, including gulf fritillaries, bees of all kinds, soldier beetles, lady bugs.. here are a few photos. Click to enlarge.

I just love the contrasts of the bugs and the blossoms! Such a vibrant place to be if you are a person or a bee.
PS: the ladybug photo is awesome.
Thanks, Christine. My garden is truly teeming with life right now, not all of it good though.. lol
What no snakes Sherry..?? LOL Oh and remember the deck is slippery when wet… Yes the picture of the Lady Bug really is awesome, I agree with Christine… Spiders up here this year are taking over the state, they’re every where and huge too…
Spider! LOL — thanks for reminding me of THAT….
:) No snakes this year, and I’ve only fallen down the steps once.. lol
Spiders, oh yeah we have those. You should see some of the giant wolf spiders around the woods here. I hate them!
