We all have a microcosm in our backyards that we rarely notice or pay any regard. This tiny world of bugs and plants has its place though. Each insect has its job in the garden and if we encourage the good ones and tolerate the bad a balance should be established. My garden is full of wonderful creepy crawlies, not all of which I love, but I tolerate the icky ones because I know they have a job to do.

The spiders keep the flying insects under control. The birds eat the spiders. The worms cultivate my vege patches and the Ladybugs keep the Aphids at bay. Even those pesky ants do their job. And to the Huntsmen currently living in my shed - I know you're loving the bevy of moths that come your way at dusk, just don't come after me!
These photos are amazing!
