Default ant Lions, eastern Tiger(s) swallowtail and Slugs


Seems the modus operation is recognize damage find the culprits and
dispatch them.
Lets assume for a moment all this critters have a purpose. Some like
weak plants and some like decaying mater. So in a way they are like
litter vultures cleaning up the unified field. Now if this premise 20%
correct it would behove us to try to starve the *******s by not
providing too much in the way of stuff that needs to be cleaned up.
Otherwise the stuff with grow more abundant and the critters more
determined to clean up.
