Earthworms are essential for soil health. They burrow through the soil, creating channels that improve aeration and water infiltration. Their castings (excrement) also enrich the soil with nutrients.
Bees are crucial pollinators for many plants. Their activities help in the reproduction of flowering plants, leading to the production of fruits and seeds.
Ladybugs are natural predators of aphids, scale insects, and mites, which can be harmful to plants. Having ladybugs in your garden helps control pest populations.
Praying mantises are predatory insects that feed on a variety of garden pests, including beetles, caterpillars, and other insects. They are effective in pest control.
Birds play a crucial role in insect control. Many birds, such as sparrows and robins, feed on insects, helping to keep pest populations in check.
Similar to bees, butterflies are important pollinators. They help transfer pollen from one flower to another, facilitating the reproduction of many flowering plants.
Frogs and toads are natural predators of insects, slugs, and snails. Having them in your garden can help control pest populations that may otherwise damage your plants.
Ground beetles are beneficial predators that feed on a variety of pests, including caterpillars, snails, and slugs. They are particularly helpful in keeping the soil ecosystem balanced.
