I'm trying to determine what insect I've got plenty of here in my
garden, and whether he's a gardener's friend or foe. There's a photo
of the mystery bug (caught in the middle of his mating dance) at
http://www.inhouzemusic.com/bug.html

Thanks!









Someone from our county extension office came to our garden club to talk about
insects just yesterday. Beneficials are hunters, they don't stay in one spot
for very long because they are always on the hunt... Pests stay in one spot to
devour the plant. Not a definitive identification but works in theory.

All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes of fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
