Bug/Insect/Critter Flags

Insects play a major role in almost every aspect of human culture

Insects play a major role in almost every aspect of human culture. Our tiny garden friends are a very special part of any gardeners life. Delicate and beautiful, these tiny critters are a sight to behold. Let ladybugs, dragonflies, bees and butterflies adorn your garden all year long.

Colorful Lady Bugs, also known as Ladybirds or Lady Beetles, are red or orange with black dotted bugs are a favorite with many gardeners. We all know that a ladybug brings good luck. To a gardener this is doubly true. Lady Bugs eat aphids, which are destructive to most plants and lots of them.

Bees of all types are great for your garden. Bumblebees tend to the largest types of bees in most gardens, with honeybees significantly smaller. Although bees don't eat any insects they do provide outstanding pollination for your flowers, vegetables and fruit trees as they move from flower to flower

The Dragonfly or Damselfly is one of the most unique looking insects with its long thin body, large eyes and two pairs of transparent, long lobed looking wings. They can come in an amazing number of almost metallic colors from emerald green to azure blue. Purple, black and matte colors are also possible and ever more exotic colorations are seen in different areas. Dragonflies typically eat mosquitoes and other small insects. They are valued as predators, since they help control populations of harmful insects. Dragonflies are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae, known as "nymphs", are aquatic. Adult dragonflies do not bite or sting humans, though nymphs are capable of delivering a painful but harmless bite.

Behold the beauty of nature's wonderful miracle - the butterfly. Their beauty, seemingly miraculous metamorphosis, and apparently carefree flight all spark our imaginations. When you think of butterflies, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the colorful flutter of wings...but there is so much more than initially meets the eye! Butterflies are some of the most beautiful and interesting creatures on Earth. They are found all over the world and in all types of environments. They have two pairs of large wings covered with colorful, iridescent scales in overlapping rows. Butterflies undergo complete metamorphosis in which they go through four different life stages. This means that the butterfly changes completely from its early larval stage, when it is a caterpillar, until the final stage, when it becomes a beautiful and graceful adult butterfly. There are approximately 28,000 different types of butterfly species worldwide.
