Beneficial insects / Ces insectes utiles
Common Red Soldier Beetle (Rhagonycha fulva) : These beetles are a great multitool! They work well as natural pest control, as they eat smaller insects such as aphids, which can often be a nuisance in gardens. They also help to pollinate many open structured flowers. They are a highly beneficial insect, supporting our gardens as well as playing an important role in the ecosystem. From Insect Week, Royal Entomological Society. Seen here on a Field Bindweed flower. /
Parmi les insectes auxiliaires, le Téléphore fauve (Rhagonycha fulva) est amateur de pollen. Mais pas que. Il apprécie aussi pucerons, chenilles et autres larves de ravageurs. Ses propres larves sont davantage encore utiles au potager. Carnivores, elles restent au sol et se délectent notamment de petites limaces. Photographie ici sur une fleur de Liseron des Jardins.
