good bugs or bad bugs. I will put some in a jar and bring them to Cooperative Extention to see what they are. They can tell me if they're good or bad. They seem to be just jumping around. Probably some kind of mating ritual. The last time I brought bugs to cooperative extention, they told me to put the bugs in a zip-lock plastic bag. They turned out to be aphids killing a Mountain Ash tree of mine and they told me to use natural soft soap in water. That did the trick, now I pass by my old property and see a beautiful tree where a bug-invested one used to be. Do you have good bugs and bad bugs in your garden? How do you know which kind you have? Do you go to Cooperative Extention? Do you research bugs online?

If they aren't ladybugs or bees, I'm pretty clueless about bugs. Unless they get in the house, then they are cat toys... We call moths "myths" if they get in the house because the cats think they are GREAT fun and they don't last long.
