It’s refreshing to see a bug on my plants that does not trigger an immediate urge to kill!😆🐞  
I’m hoping I don’t get post traumatic stress disorder from fighting mealy bugs, spider mites and fungus gnats.

Omg yes! I flicked a bug so hard and fast off one of my outdoor plants the other day. Then I was like “well I should look it up incase I should be gearing for an infestation.” So I spent a good chunk of time torturing myself with insect and larvae pics on google search 😑 I’m still not 100% sure because I flicked the bug before I thought to take a picture, but it might have been a beneficial lacewing larva. Whoops!

I will flick a snail in a minute! It’s a game with my two dogs. They know I will flick something into the grass and they run to sniff it just in case it’s food. I’m ok as long they don’t bring it back!
