Mark,
That is a very useful list. Now we just need another list telling
us which beneficial insect will work against which pest.
What is missing from that list are a number of vegetables
like Swiss chard, some types of salads, etc. that, when they
go to seed, develop numerous little flowers which attract
beneficial insects including predatory bugs and hunting
beetles for which I dont know the names in English.
One of the most beneficial insect, the earwig, isnt on that list,
obviously because it is not attracted by plants. I place little
earwig houses around the garden to settle it wherever it is
needed.
