Insects and Arachnids of Flower Hill Farm

Insects and arachnids crawl and fly around the fields and gardens.  Most are beneficial.  I cannot understand the use of ticks, but I am sure even they have their purpose.   

 

 

Bugs are plentiful and diverse here at Flower Hill Farm. Of the six-legged creatures known to be insects there exist some of my favorite beings. The delicate lacewing featured above is a great predator of aphids whereas other insects are important pollinators. You can visit our butterfly ~ bee ~ dragonfly and moth pages and do not be afraid to take a peek at our arachnid page that exhibits a few of our eight-legged garden spiders that sadly weave beautiful death traps for some of our other beloved insects amid the gardens and fields of Flower Hill Farm.
