This morning I found a small brown bug walking around on the dogs pillow. My first thought was Jesus Christ you’re scary and need to die. I stopped myself. I took a photo of it and looked it up. Very pleased the little thing didn’t die just because it looked scary. It’s a lacewing larvae. So I collected it in a little pot and took it to the polytunnel. Let him loose on an aubergine leaf that had some aphids. Then I watched in awe of nature at work.
.
It was truly fascinating to watch. The speed it attacked and the violence. It shook the aphid like a dog does with a toy. Just amazing to witness.

Builder that would like to go play in the garden.
