The bees are shunning my cucumber blossoms. Hopefully a lesser insect will take care of them.

Great flowers! Our best ones are large weeds over in the wild area.

These are not the weeds you're looking for.

Yellow jackets!! They are the most vicious, ornery insect ever.
They steal from my picnic plate. I hate yellow jackets......and I prefer to carry spiders out of the house.

Soldier beetles (the firefly cousin) are pretty important pollinators. Don't begrudge them they are also predators on many pest species too
