Lacewing! Super beneficial insect! I try to grow them every year in my garden. They eat aphids and other pests on plants. It’s a friend :)
How deep do you plant them? I might try growing some too.
You don’t really plant them, you get eggs on little strips of paper that you hang on your plants. Super easy!
You can also plant lots of pollen producing plants or borage to help lacewings thrive. And of course don't use pesticides
