I can’t believe I actually caught this on camera, but I did and it sure tells the tale of activities in the garden! I have posted about Companion Gardening and Good Bugs (Beneficials) in the garden and the bad bugs. Not to long ago I showed the damage the Imported Cabbageworm did to my Sunset Kale plants … posted on July 8th . The adult to these damaging bugs is the White Moth that flutters around in great abundance here. So today I visit the garden with camera in hand and I spot a White Moth and it looked stuck! Stuck enough where I could grab it and make history of it, BUT I stopped! I looked closer and it was stuck in a cobweb made by a beneficial spider under a cucumber leaf. Check this out …
The white moth in my garden
The spider is dining on another bug with the white moth in the background – sure is a cool looking spider … white and black!
The cobweb is difficult to see in the photo, but the spider did a Great job for Deb’s Gardens and I thank him! Also I found a rather large toad the other day in another part of the yard as I was pulling weeds and I moved him into the garden and he Stayed! I bet he is eating tons of bugs so I thank the toad too!
