A whileback I noticed this guy in my plants
I was worried that he A.) Might be another aphid destroyer bug, and I killed him with the neem oil or B.) this is some other kind of terrible pest sent to destroy my beautiful garden. Well it turns out my worry was unfounded. Turns out that little guy is a Syrphid Fly or Hoover Fly. This guy goes CRAZY for aphids when it is a nymph then turns into a pollinator machine. My worries of eradicating my entire beneficial population was also unfounded. Upon closer inspection among my melon and cucumber (i.e. worst hit by the aphid apocalypse) are tons of aphid munchers!
