Garden Insects
The term 'garden insect helpers' generally refers to insects that are beneficial as pollinators or as feeders on destructive bugs. Among the best known of the beneficial insects are the ladybird beetle, the colorful butterfly, and the busy bee. What's bugging your garden? Are there slugs in your salad greens, ants in your azaleas, bean beetles in your beans, or some other pesty insect in your garden? Insects like to eat, but gardeners are not willing to share.

What type of caterpillars eats bean plants?
Lepidopteran describes the type of caterpillar that eats bean plants. A caterpillar is the larval stage of a butterfly or a moth. Examples range from armyworms (Spodoptera spp) to corn earworms (Helicoverpa zea), cutworms (Agrotis segetum), leaf miners (Cameraria spp) and pod borers (Maruca vitrata).
Caterpillars are vegetarians, they only eat plant material.
The larva of ladybugs, however, are voracious devourers of aphids.
Adult ladybugs and lacewings also eat aphids.
Unlike most though, the Harvester caterpillar
feeds solely on aphids. the adults,
of the hairstreak family, do not eat at all.

What is the national flower for Austria?
Austria's famous flower is the Edelweiss, a small white blossom that grows in the Alps. The Edelweiss was immortalized in a song by the same name in the musical and movie, The Sound of Music. Prettysharp.
To set the record straight, "The Sound of Music" is an American musical set in Austria. It was written by Americans (Rodgers & Hammerstein) for an English speaking audience. There are no Austrian songs in it.
Most Austrians know of the story of the Sound of music which is based on a popular Austro-German film of the 1950s called Die Familie Trapp. The story-line of the film is almost identical to the musical. A stage version of The Sound of Music was played in Vienna about 2007.

How many days does it take to go from the caterpillar to the butterfly stages?
The number of days that it takes to be a butterfly depends upon the particular lepidopteran, with a typical span of 4 to 20 days in the last stage as the beloved flying pollinator even though adulthood may last for:
- 2 to 10 weeks for great spangled fritillaries;
- 2 to 4 weeks for gulf fritillaries;
- 1 to 3 months for milkweeds;
- 1 to 5 months for zebra longwings.
Adulthood will be preceded by egg, larval and pupal stages that add anywhere from 3 to 14 weeks.
The total days will tend to range from 25 to 118 dayseven though life cycles may range longer for such species as:
- great spangled fritillaries, with 59 to 137-day lifespans;
- zebra longwings, with 53 to 189+-day lifespans.
Lepidopteran pests of Brassicae family edibles and ornamentals describes cabbage moths. The member of the Lepidoptera order of butterflies and moths, with the scientific name Mamestra brassicae, is a well-known predator of cabbages. The larval and mature stages also prey upon other brassicas, such as broccoli, Brussel sprouts, sunflowers, tobacco and tomatoes.
The effect the chalk has on ants is that it can penetrate their skin and dehydrate them. Chalk can slowly kill an ant.
Where are cicada killers located?
Africa, America (Caribbean, Central, North), Asia, Australia, and Europe are where cicada killers are located. The insects in question (Sphecius spp) share cicada-killing and ground-dwelling with their equivalents in South America, Liogorytes spp.
Do bees eat the honey they make?
Yes, bees produce honey as a food source for themselves. They store honey in the hive to eat during times when food is scarce, such as winter. Honey is rich in nutrients and serves as their primary energy source.

Adult honey bees primarily feed on nectar, which is a sugary liquid produced by flowers. They also consume pollen for protein and vitamins needed for their diet. Additionally, they may consume water and honey for hydration and energy.
What bugs are good for plants?
Big-eyed (Geocoris spp) and damsel (Nabidaefamily) hemipterans are examples of bugs that are good for plants. Bugs taxonomically belong to the Hemiptera insect order and may include both beneficial and harmful members.
Food chains, habitats, and mating cause moths. The insects in question (Lepidoptera order) exist as dual fulfillers of Mother Nature's predator/prey roles in eating agricultural, garden, and household items and getting eaten by bats, bears, birds, and lizards or parasitized by ichneumon wasps. Their presence models a successful completion of this butterfly relative's complete metamorphosis, life cycle, and natural history as an egg resulting from an adult female and male adult mating, a caterpillar (larva), a cocoon-encased pupa, and a mature lepidopteran.
Bees used for commercial honey production?
Bees used for commercial honey production are typically honey bees (Apis mellifera). These bees are managed in colonies by beekeepers who place the hives in specific locations to maximize honey production. The beekeepers provide proper care, such as feeding and medication, to ensure the health and productivity of the bees.
I tested it and the plant grew at normal rate but the leaves were more wrinkly and browner
Answer 2:Caffeine does not do anything to a plant directly. But caffeine is used by many plants as an natural insecticide which paralyzes any poor insect unlucky enough to start eating the plant. Larger mammals and primates like humans find it has a minor stimulant effect but in higher doses it acts like the intended insecticide effect, causing tremors, extreme anxiety, muscle problems, tachycardia, and sometimes death. Yup, caffeine is just a insecticide that is mildly stimulating. Kind of how they used to use strychnine as a stimulant.Although you can use either a thin or thick layer of coffee grounds, make certain you do not cover the grass to the point that water is repelled. Watch out for gophers that might be attracted to your coffee grounds fertilizer. On the plus side, earthworms will also be drawn to your unique fertilizer.Since earthworms have the ability to eat enough in a 24-hour period to equal their body weight, your lawn will benefit.
Aphids make your gardens miserable by feeding on the roots,leaves,and stems of a plant.Your leaves may have holes or dry parts which aphids cause.The roots may not be able to carry as much water as it used to and the stems make poisonous milk for the leaves.

Decomposers breakdown the dead things that no other animal wants and scavengers is organisms that eat dead animals or decaying plants. During transformation bacteria eats the dna and nutrients of other dead bacteria that is floating around.
What insect has two sets of antennae?
No insect has two sets of antennae since Insects class membership is characterized by just one pair of front-located sensors. Scientists include insects within the arthropod phylum. Within that phylum, arachnids, chilopods and diplopods lack antennae whereas crustaceans have two sets.
How does a honey bee fit in its environment?
Bumble bees adapt to their environments in many different ways. Some bumblebee species have longer tongues so they are able to pollinate the deeper flowers in their environment. The fuzzy covering on bumblebees is an adaption to help them stay active in cool weather.
What region of a grasshopper is specialized for movement?
The thorax is the region of the grasshopper that is specialized for movement.
Specifically, the term designates the region between a grasshopper's (suborder Caelifera) head and a grasshopper's abdomen. It is the region to which the grasshopper's three sets of legs are attached, for "walking" in the case of the first two and jumping in terms of the third. It also is where the wings for flying will be found.
Worms can be killed by environmental factors such as extreme heat or cold, predators like birds or mammals, pesticides, and diseases. Improper handling or environmental conditions can also harm worms.
