Gardens are usually full of all kinds of insects and animals. I gathered several photos of insects.

One day in the summer, young hedgehog died and I’ve noticed a lot of green flies all around. I haven’t found the source until much later, when the flies and foul smell were already gone.

Unknown beetles on Columbine flower. There are many different beetles roaming around the garden and these two were ‘snapped’ while watching the flowers.

Chinese ladybugs almost removed the population of local ladybugs. These two are chinese version that is bigger and has more black dots on their backs. They are all beneficial to the garden so I love to see them around, especially doing what these two were doing. Aphids and mites beware. 🙂
 

Vast amounts of green attracts leaf eating creatures like caterpillar on the photo. The size of the caterpillar was unbelievable. I’ve seen colorful beasts, but this one was just huge.

Beetles making love on dandelion flower. These hairy creatures can usually be seen in late spring and early summer.
