Insects
We know that the Garden is host to a wide variety of pollinators. The milkweed, Queen Anne's Lace, and Coneflower blooms crawl with flies, bees, wasps, moths, and butterflies. Lady bird beetles wander in the tomato vines.
There are unwanted insects, as well. Grasshoppers gnaw on the kale leaves. Every mosquito in Uptown seems to be waiting for us on Saturday mornings and Thursday evenings.
Animals
There is at least one rabbit warren somewhere on the Garden property. We're always surprising a bunny in fragrante delicto—though not usually actually on the inside of our fencing. Bunnies have not done much damage this year.
We also have squirrels, of course. Squirrels seem to stick to fallen fruit, though they will nip at the occasional tomato.
