Who are your bug friends?

I found some beautiful spiders in my garden this weekend. Here’s one on my jalapeno plant.

It got me thinking.

Indoors, I am tolerant of spiders and spider webs because I think they are eating less welcome bugs.

Outside, I feel lucky when a praying mantis visits. I love the bees for their hard work spreading pollen.

Also, I’ve been enjoying the LOUD cicadas. They really let you know IT’S SUMMER!!!

Do you have some bug allies?
