Ever wonder, who's eating your veggies? What about, who's protecting your veggies?

Well, we do! Help us learn about what's living in your garden, friend and foe.

If you have a garden you can participate!

How to participate

It's easy, just look through your garden and collect any "pupa" you find. What's a pupa? It's a little (usually brown) cocoon that an insect such as a fly, moth, butterfly or wasp make before they become an adult.

If you find a pupae carefully cut it from the plant and place it in a clear plastic cup. Seal with plastic wrap and poke a few holes  with a pin for ventilation. Then, wait to see what emerges...

Didn't find any pupae? That's OK. You can share photos of other organisms you find visiting your garden on our iNaturalist page. We'd love to know who's visiting your garden =)
