Has anyone had this happen before?

I used to put my plants down at the end of my garden in a white bathtub so they could get some sunlight thru the day and i hav 2 ponds right next to it, they were fine down there for ages but i put them sumwhere else in my garden once and they got bugs, so i put them in the bathtub and watched them alot that was when i realized there was a red dragon fly eatin all the bugs and like protectin my plants, eversince it took them in for autumn its been flying around my garden like its lookin for my plants, i was just wonderin if anyone else has heard of this sort of thing before?

Sounds like you have protection of a dragon.. thats nice.. dragon flys have no threat twoards plants..but i never heard that be4

i knwo alot of people that use lady bugs to kill off pest

yeah dragonflys are cool they eat mosquitos

no way man, dragonflies suck. damselflies are much cooler:D :D :D

yeh well i got them too, its just annoying now i cant seem to find the dragonfly, - or any ladybugs, i guess ill just leave me plants out as bait, n try 2 swipe it away from its natural sourroundings and force it to work for me on on big endless shift.... mwahahahaaa.....

i saw it again the other day, it looked lonely...

That is common in a lot of cases. If there is a mass amount of bugs that a bigger bug feeds on, it's like a non-stop buffet for them, so they stay and eat their faces off.

Ladybugs also help as well. Every summer I get a spider problem. They (try) to infest my entire garden, laying blue, fuzzy sacks of thousands of them everywhere. I found a ladybug one day and put it on one of plants. That ladybug stayed there for a good 4 or 5 weeks, spider free. I was watching that fucker one day and all it did was roam the plant, over and over again. Not harming the plant, but killing off anything that tried too.

Some bugs are good for a lot of reasons, except misquitos. Why do they exist? They suck!
