» Ixia - Good Insects
Liked your article. We need to protect our insects as they help us look after our gardens.I invite you to have a read of my articles written last year on Suite on Insects and pesticides. Keep up the good work.

Very good article EXCEPT that I would love to have pictures of these various insects mentioned. I'm seeing more bugs in my garden this year than ever, but don't know the good ones from the bad. I am having some bad luck with new plants that I'm trying, and it may be the bugs.-- posted by Jane_

Here is a plant identification site courtesy of Texas A & M University. It contains nice, clear images, including the infamous flea beetle.http://vegipm.tamu.edu/imageindex.html
