Insect week, from the 19th to the 25th June 2023.

Their World, in our hands. Do no harm.

Our world in their ‘hands’.

‘tis the week to celebrate all the #LittleThingsThatRunTheWorld!

You are not a lazy gardener, you’re a bumblebee and baby butterfly buddy!

Be glad of the busy, healthy plants with lace patterned leaves – there will be butterflies and moths when those caterpillars grow up.  It’s that basic circle of life / balance of nature.

Caterpillars = butterflies and moths. Slugs, snails and earthworms make the composting work. Putting poisons down, so that you don’t have lace patterned leaves, starts a ripple that spreads far and wide. Butterflies, bees, ladybirds, hedgehogs, birds … all are early victims. Chemical companies get richer, you get poorer and the natural world dies. So sad.
