Rewilding My Lot

Converting a new developer lot into a nature ecosystem — my journey

Streaktails Are Predators Of Aphids

This tiny visitor to my Skeleton-Leaf Goldeneye (Viguiera stenoloba) this week might look at first glance to be a bee because of its coloring, but it’s actually an Oblique Streaktail (Allograpta obliqua), which is a common species of hoverfly.

These are beneficial visitors to the garden, not only because the adults act as pollinators, but particularly because the larvae eat aphids.

About Me

Nature Lover.
Inquisitive Observer.
Student Gardener.

I invite you to join me on my journey to convert my sterile (from a nature point of view) new house lot to a healthy and diverse ecosystem, as I make discoveries, mistakes, and hopefully progress. I am not an expert or professional. The project started in February 2023 and the location is Seguin, Texas, USA.
