- bees everywhere now, doing the real work. do not spray anything while they are out.
- japanese beetle grubs are becoming japanese beetles. pick them off by hand into soapy water.
- tomato hornworms soon. huge, green, invisible until they are not. check the undersides.
- fireflies in the grass at dusk. leave the lawn alone and they will stay.
- spiders in the garden corners, building webs between the stakes. they earn their place.
- ticks in the tall grass. check yourself after. tuck your pants in.
