16. Cricket: Neutral
He chews a few plants, but so badly and so discreetly that it is very difficult to guess exactly what he has eaten. Its presence indicates a warm corner of the garden because it does not like cold and humidity.

17. spiders: friend


Spiders, without exception, catch insects and other small invertebrates in the garden. No spiders eat plants, but some cannot move young caterpillars due to active hunting.

18. Carabid: Friend
It hunts snails, but also all insects in its range. It is an indicator of a healthy environment because its larvae (which also hunt snails) are sensitive to pollution and pesticides. Carabids are available in many colors. The most common is black, but the most spectacular is gold.

19. Cetonia: Friend and foe
The adult ketone is a nasty rose thief in May. It eats away pollen from single-flowered roses and causes them to wilt prematurely. But its larva, which is confused with the bee, helps to decompose manure and dead wood (if it is more than two years old). The ketone nephews and nieces are black, but they are smaller.

20. Leafhopper: Enemy
Despite its shiny appearance and beautiful coloring in some species, this caustic insect is twice as harmful. Not only does it weaken the plants from which the juice is pumped, but it also transmits all kinds of diseases.
