Нам, сухопутным червям, вполне удобненько передвигаться по сухому пути, который тверд и недвижим, как под ногами земля, на коей оный и зиждится. «Мы отталкиваемся от земли, и она никуда не убегает,…

Insects are like sitting ducks for this giant bullfrog, fresh out of 10 months in hibernation. One flick of its mucus-covered tongue and dung beetle dinner is served.

Aphids are one of gardeners’ most hated pests. They’re incredibly prolific, seemingly popping up overnight to take down your favorite veggies.

"Aphids are just experts at reproducing," said Ian Grettenberger an entomologist at the University of California, Davis. "Given the right conditions, they can multiply really quickly and get out of control.

For most of the year female aphids giving live birth to clones that are themselves already pregnant. That means that…

Often sold as novelty items and exported worldwide, Mexican jumping beans are actually the seed capsules of a shrub (Sebastiania pavoniana) that have been taken over by the tiny larvae of an attractive grey moth (Cydia saltitans).  The moth lays its eggs on the green immature capsule of female flowers in the spring and summer, and the immature larvae bore into the young seed capsules.  

The developing seed will be home and food for the larva as it grows. By late summer, the capsules separate into three sections, falling…

This fly’s larvae tunnel inside bitter-tasting greens like arugula and kale, leaving squiggly marks behind. The plants fight back with toxic chemicals. So before laying her eggs, the fly mom digs into a leaf and slurps its sap – a taste test to find the least toxic spot for her offspring.

As they feed inside a leaf’s spongy layer, leaf miners etch intricate patterns that are visible to us on the leaf’s surface. The whitish tan or light gray markings can be neatly serpentine or converge and have a blotch-like appearance, depending on what insect made them. Many different flies, butterflies and moths lay eggs on the leaves of citrus, vegetables and ornamental plants that grow into leaf miner larvae.

One leaf miner that gardeners…
