I believe that a garden should attract insects, birds, lizards, spiders, when I plant.
They do their work, and offer their beauty. A great article. One seldom sees
articles about good/bad insects. Congratulations for the information and great pictures.
Great article. Funny that Texas would have a mosquito!
We occasionally have a praying mantis in our yard and they are tenacious. I see it literally stand up to our miniature pinscher. Fortunately the dog has not killed it. She has batted at it with her paw and the mantis fights back. Great fun to watch.
North Dakota doesn't have one huh? I've never thought about that, but if we did have one it would most likely be the common housefly, cabbage moth, grasshopper or yellow jacket! :)
Great article, thanks! I think I'll write to my legislators about the state bug, or lack thereof.
Very interesting article, Toni. Quite bizzare of Texans to adopt a mosquito as their state insect. The pests are prolific in Mississippi, and the state does everything it can to reduce the mosquito population.
