A garden hermit is a kind of bug that lives in gardens. It looks like a tiny little brown bug that has long antennae. Garden hermits like to live inside the soil of gardens, so you may never see them. They eat the rotting leaves and other organic materials on the ground to stay alive and help make the garden healthier. They also help aerate the soil and keep pests away by eating them. Garden hermits are very important for the health of your garden and are a good indicator that the soil is healthy.
