I found this on one of my plants in the tent today... Is it a good bug or a bad one?

Ah thanks potbelly the swine eat plants! I will have to look for eggs on all my plants... In answer yes there are good bugs I grow marigolds early season around my veg patch to attract hoverfly's as they eat aphids.

yes there are good bugs to name but a few.

Praying Mantis
LadyBug
Hypoaspis Miles
Pirate Bugs
Parasitic Wasps
White fly parasites
Predator Nematodes


These are just a few that are good bugs other wise known as PREDATORS.
