What types of bugs do you have in your yard?
« on: June 12, 2017, 05:22:40 am »
We have dragonflies and ladybugs. We also have bees and caterpillars. We also have ants and all different color beetles. The birds seem to like the bugs. They get along fairly well.

We have all of the above as well.  And tons of butterflies.  And mosquitos.  Can live with all the others but the mosquitos are awful!

The common ones, plus we have some massive bumble bees on one of our flowering shrubs.  And we have some wasp nests in the garden, but we co-exist on a peaceful basis.

The only bugs that bother me are the flies and the worst  are  the mosquitos They just eat me a live and never bother  my husband. Go figure.  They bite me and I get  large welts and it itches so bad that I have to keep  anti-itch cream on it all the time.  I also  have to spray or use  insect repellent  all the time plus wear long sleeve shirts and pants along with the repellent and they still find places to bite. Any one  have any good suggestions on how to keep them off????

Bees, butterflies, lightning bugs at night. Thankfully no more wasps.

Japanese beetles in the heat of the summer.  Hate the damn things!

We used to have lots of flies and bees in years past, but now they seem to be dropping off.

We have all that stuff except for lightning bugs, those sound so cool and I'd love to see one.

Scariest thing we get here regularly is the palo verde beetle... don't google it

We are very close to Lake Erie. This time each year we get a lot of muffleheads and mayflies. They say that the more of these bugs there are - the healthier the Lake is. So a necessary nuisance I guess... ::)

Every kind imaginable. My yard is the Jurassic Park of bugs.

We have a lot of ants, no abundance of worms, have some flying bugs when light is left on at night and they fly around the light.

None, since I don't have a yard. We do get yellow jackets on our patio though.
