   Beneficial Bugs     Beneficial bugs such as spiders and ladybugs eat unwanted pests and reduce the need for toxic pesticides. Sustainable farmers encourage beneficial insects on their farms by creating habitats for them. They also release beneficial insects to combat specific pests. Spiders, ladybugs, wasps, lacewings, beetles and dragonflies are some of the hardworking and beautiful bugs that help create a healthy ecosystem on the farm.
