i both love and hate that i keep finding different moths in my house. why are they here? i dont want them to get caught on the sticky traps i put out for the flies. but also, very fun to see so many different varieties and knowing my garden probably plays a role somehow.

#i think im gonna start a tag for my garden posts so i can keep track of everything thats happened- wont have some of the info bc im #sure as fuck not digging into my blog to find my past posts but i can at least document it all from this point on #my mini reserve #i think is what im gonna call it lol #for reference future me: so far we've been dealing with doves constantly poopin out babies and lots of tiny bees and flies #as well as a carnivorous caterpillar that likes aphids #and of course the wasps that made a nest my first year #and the frog. cant forget the frog.#theres evidence of other caterpillars on my plants but I havent really seen any of them actually #tho ig the evidence of their presence is within all the moths lol #oh also the mantis we found yesterday and trtied to put back outside but keeps trying to come inside :|#i think i have a pet mantis now lol #there was also a katydid stuck in the same spot the mantis was and the clicking sound was driving me nuts bc i had no idea what it was lol #we had bats the first year bc i had a nicotiana that bloomed at night and attracted small bugs #i prolly still have bats but i usually dont go outside anymore at night bc squitoes #also lots of different kinds of crane flies #not many butterflies tho. and i havent attracted the carpenter bees yet. i do have mason bees tho and there was some sort of wasp #parasiting off of some of the lil holes. which. sad. but its nature.#lots of funky flies and bee type things like sweat bees or flies that look likes wasps #saw a robber fly that bitch was huge i loved it. thought it was a wasp lol #milkweed bug. cucumber beetles. leaf/tree hoppers a' plenty.#its so easy to do this. and im working with a very small space too.
