Beneficial insects

Beneficial insects help us in many ways! They help us in the garden by eating things that are bad for the plants, like bugs that eat leaves or suck juices from the stems of plants. They also help by pollinating flowers, which helps the flowers to produce fruits and vegetables. Beneficial insects can also eat other insects that might be harmful to humans, like mosquitos and ticks. This can help keep us safe from diseases that these insects might carry. All in all, beneficial insects are a great help to us and the environment!
