    This is a great post. Learning what's an asset to the garden and what hurts a garden is extremely valuable. Good job

    Mexican Bean Beetle Larvae (Foe), Squash Lady Beetle (Foe), Lady Bug Larvae (Friend), Flat Head Worm (Friend or Foe depending on your point of view, I see them as a necessary enemy because they eat earth worms but are part of the natural cycle of things by being a predator, they don't eat plants so I leave them alone if I see them), Colorado Potato Beetle (Foe)

    I have no idea what they are but I do know one thing, If they bite I'm on the menu. I leave bugs alone and hope they leave me alone.
