| Did you know? I consume 50+ aphids per day during peak summer season My larvae live underground eating harmful root pests for 2 years I'm often mistaken for a harmful beetle but I'm 100% beneficial One soldier beetle family can clear 1,000 aphids from your garden weekly I also eat cucumber beetles, caterpillars, and fly eggs My orange and black colors warn predators I taste terrible (but I'm harmless to you) The truth: I'm your garden's undercover bodyguard disguised as trouble. #SoldierBeetle #50Aphids #2Years #1000Weekly #UndercoverBodyguard #BeneficialBeetle #AphidEater #PestControl #GardenGuardian #MistakenIdentity #RootPests #CucumberBeetles #HarmlessHelper #GoodBug #DontSpray |

I shed my skin 5 times as I grow - like changing clothes
Only 5% of caterpillars survive to become adult butterflies
I can only eat specific plants - monarchs need milkweed, swallowtails need parsley
My "scary" spines and colors are just costume to avoid being eaten
I take 3-5 weeks to transform from egg to butterfly
The truth: I'm not a pest. I'm a butterfly in work clothes.

| I catch 2,000 flying insects per year in my web I rebuild my entire web every night - it takes 1 hour of precise work My silk is 5x stronger than steel and more flexible than rubber I eat mosquitoes, flies, gnats, and moths - your summer enemies I use 7 different types of silk for different parts of my web My web can capture insects flying at 20+ mph The truth: I'm not scary. I'm a highly skilled architect working pest control. #OrbWeaver #2000Insects #1Hour #5xStronger #7SilkTypes #20mph #NightShift #PestPatrol #HighlySkilled #WebArchitect #SteelStrength #RubberFlexible #SummerEnemies #FlyingInsects #PreciseWork |
