I have an egg sac that is looking to hatch in a few weeks! You can get them on amazon.

I think more or less any bug that’s a carnivore is good. I have a bunch of spiders I’ve seen making webs in my peppers, and I’ve been letting them chill there and haven’t had as many bug problems so far.

Predator bugs in my garden are always welcome. Turns out they eat bugs, not plants. It also turns out that the bugs that eat plants are made of…bugs.

People think that are beneficial but from what I’ve heard, they are neutral because they eat everything including beneficials. They are a larger so they eat larger pest and not the smaller ones. But they will eat the beneficials that eat the smaller pest.

They eat the bad bugs but unfortunately, they eat the good bugs too. But I would definitely leave them on your plants. They help a lot more than hurt. I actually found babies in my yard recently and tried to collect as many as I could, and put them all over my plants.

PM won’t harm your plants of any kind (as far as I know). They eat bugs but they eat anything. They cannot see well and just eat whatever crosses their path, so that means they will eat beneficials. But you gotta take the good with the bad. All in all, PM is a beneficial insect for gardeners.
