A lot of people are complaining about the wasps this year. They are actually very beneficial insects in some ways. These are very beneficial insects. They gather other insects to feed their larvae and thus control aphid populations, take out delphinium defoliators and other leaf rollers.

Mosquito populations have decreased in some areas, perhaps due to changes in the surrounding vegetation or weather.

We are seeing these little flies every outdoors. I don’t recall them like this in the past.
