Help from Mother Nature
Yesterday one wasp, today I spotted one bee and 2 wasps. I have been increasing the flower plants to attract these guys. Hope they bring more of their friends and family coz I need all the help I can get with pest control.

Ginger bug
Ginger bug is used as a starter for probiotic fermented drinks.
The bug wont be as active coz it is kept dormant in the cold fridge. Please bring your own sterile container. 200ml rm10
a wasp on my ulam raja
Nice to see bigger insects that I think are here to eat bugs, not munch on my leaves. At least I hope so!

Harvested bitter gourd a bit too slow
Today's harvest...
Yellow means over-ripe
The flesh is a bit mushy/crumbly in the yellow areas
But definitely still edible.

Another helper spotted in my garden - the Hoverfly (Eristalinus Taeniops)
I thought it was a bee...
But no it's a fly...
You can Google it for amazing close up pics of this creature. It truly is beautiful.
According to this site it's a helper :)
https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/beneficial/hover-flies-in-gardens.htmBUT... it's larvae are the ones that will do the work. And I am sure I wont be able to distinguish them from other larvae. I have been feeding all bugs and larvae that I find on the veggie to my Climbing Perch (ikan Puyu)
I managed to capture it drinking water...
And a couple of seconds of it flying...
Even its flying style is very much like a bee.
New bug - Eristalinus Taeniops
Not sure yet if it's a friend or foe. Google Lens identified it as Eristalinus Taeniops.
