Useful Fauna

Normally when we see lizards, we see them scurrying among the stones, sunbathing on a wall or hiding under a pot, and although they often go unnoticed, they play a key role in the ecosystem of our orchard. Discreet, fast and voracious, these insectivorous reptiles become great allies when it comes to controlling pests naturally.

In the world of natural predators, there is a silent heroine that deserves a privileged place in our orchards, and this is the Green Chrysopa (Chrysopa). With its ethereal appearance and lacy wings, we should not be fooled, because this predator in its juvenile stage is a real pest-killing machine.

Ladybugs (Coccinellidae), also known as St. Anthony’s ladybugs, are essential allies in organic farming and biological pest control.
