Many home and garden bugs are considered "beneficial" - meaning they are
actually  helpful and can keep undesirable troublemakers under control. 
For example:

* One ladybug can eat 5,000 aphids in its lifetime.
* Dragonfly larvae are efficient hunters, eating mosquito larvae and other insects, snails - and even small fish.
* Juvenile lacewings can eat up to 20 or 30 aphids a day.
