To recognize beneficial insects, start by looking for ladybugs, lacewings, and bees. Ladybugs are usually red with black spots, and they love munching on aphids. Lacewings have delicate, green wings and help control pests too. As for bees, they're super important for pollination! To support them, plant a variety of flowers that bloom at different times, avoid using pesticides, and consider adding some native plants to your garden. They’ll appreciate the food and habitat!
