I just found a bunch of these next to where I live, but I don’t know the species. Does anyone know?

Otherwise, does anyone know if there is a plant.net for bugs that works well?

      You’ve got it reversed; less insecticide = more ladybugs = less aphids. Ladybugs are their natural predator and can actually be bought from breeders along with stuff like tomato worm wasps as a natural non-chemical pest control.

      I was also taught as a kid to only kill the tomato worms without eggs laid on them:

      You let those ones live because the eggs are gonna hatch and eat it then make more wasps that will eat more tomato worms.
