Oh-no! Sorry to hear that. I've had those 'disappearing plant parts' moments. Inspect the ground around your plants. See any piles of poo? Could be a hornworm. And, could be a rabbit; that's what happened to one of mine years ago.

I've heard of that, and one of these days I need to try it; thanks! ;)

Oh yes, I love Mimosa trees, to. Sadly that one got cut down 'cause it was too close to the house. She has another one, but something keeps eating it, stupid animals.

That big grasshopper looks like one I used to see on my Mom's Mimosa tree. I haven't seen it this year or I would've fed it to my hopper-munchers. :lau

Tip for gardeners: when you're inspecting your plants for bugs, be sure to carry your chicken with you! I was carrying one of my girls and I passed by my marigold patch. I saw a 'piece of chicken candy'(grasshopper) eating on a bud. I grasped the hopper, handed it to my pullet, and bye-bye...

I've had a ton of these this year! I have to be careful where I walk, because I've been very close to stepping on some. A lot of them have probably been clobbered by the lawn mower. I try to move them either in the woods, or in my garden when I find one.

I know this isn't an insect, BUT AIN'T HE CUTE??!!! :love

No, it's not a horsefly, but a robber fly. They are non-aggressive and are quick to fly away from you. I was lucky to get that close to one to get his picture.

Now for the good guys:

Red wasps. :oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::oops::th

Ah, a garden spider! Also known as a zipper spider due to the zipper-looking web pattern. Spiders scare the daylights out of me, but these guys don't worry me none.

I've got plenty of mantises, if you want some, lol. I think they hatched out in my greenhouse, 'cause I find itty bitty, practically microscopic babies in there! Now I'm finding young, but bigger ones in my garden. One on each of my pepper plants it seems. Yeah, mud daubers are sweet guys, and...

The majority of ALL insects I see every year is the stinking, evil red wasp. I hate those things with a passion!!! So scary because they fly at me, and I will scream and run if I don't have a swatting weapon. And no, I am NOT the only adult who runs away from them. I've had a woman tell me her...

As a matter of fact, I haven't seen that many Junebugs either. Nor have I seen honeybees either except maybe two or three. No pics, but in my garden this year I've had little mantises, small to large hornworms, big green grasshoppers that eat in my stuff (but not after tossing them to the...
