While we frequently encounter nasty bugs in our daily lives, especially in crop production, there are also many good bugs in the landscape that generally go unnoticed. Beneficial insects (a.k.a. the good bugs), for example bees and insect predators, often provide us with services, such as pollination of flowers and helping protect plants from damage caused by insect pests. Unfortunately agricultural and ornamental landscapes are generally harsh and resource-poor environments for beneficial insects. Therefore, conservation of these insects may be essential to support their populations and the services they provide our production yards. This can involve the manipulation of the environment to favor beneficial insects. From modifying the production yard to the manipulation of available resources, my research focuses on how to identity common beneficial insects, the resources that they require for survival, and practical strategies to support them in agricultural and ornamental landscapes.
