The insects in your garden - Survival

Have you ever gone to court and tried to look at things from a different perspective? Have you ever lied on the grass or under a tree and looked very close to the things around you? Have you ever imagined so small that everything is huge all around you? If you do not have, then you need. Because if you do this, you open a new world for you ... a world of insects.

In a common garden, there are billions of insects. Multiply that by the level ofGardens of the World and you get an enormous amount of insects. Indeed, if there is a huge scale, and put all the insects in the world on one side and all the elephants in the world, second, the insects would be by far the elephants.

That's how many. And most of the time that we recognize as a human being, not even out there. And 'if we are angry, or rests upon us, or we see a really ugly, it is known. Some you see more than others, flying ants, and beescome to mind quite easily and we all had seen them.

Others are not so simple. This is because although there are so many insects in the world, as many, if not more, vulnerable to predators of insects.

One of these enemies is the common garden skink (Lampropholis Delicata). The common garden skink comes from the east coast of Australia and the majority of children would be found in the garden at any time. This small lizard prey on small insects. InThere is in fact almost all their food from small insects.

The common garden skink is just one of many predatory insects. But, as the creatures prey on small garden skink, common skink predator has its own garden. Birds eat, for example, love for this small reptiles. Dogs and cats love to play with his end, often the death of these creatures small garden. As defense mechanism, the skink a clever way, has developed to fool predators ... reducing theirTail. The tail was shaking on the floor or in the mouth of the thieves, while the skink escapes with his life.

Another way for insects to deceive predators is camouflage. Many insects use this method and it works very well for most people. A garden of creatures that use this method, coal-larvae (Plutella xylostella). This small, bright green caterpillar usually found on the underside of the leaves light green. Things like cabbage, spinach andsalad leaves are the ideal hiding place for these small caterpillars, green leaves are large and generally brilliant. The larvae of coal are herbivores, but many, many predators, so that the underside of the leaves of laurel green are the perfect hiding place. Usually this is the first people of this small garden creatures are spy holes in the leaves they eat.

There are many other defense mechanisms in the insect kingdom, too many to list, and all times to maintainOf predators in search of food or insects in question.

So the next time in the garden, Get Down Low. Very low. Take a look around and try to imagine how life is there for all creatures small garden.

Welcome to another world.
