Several days ago I noticed that I had a couple of crush peach aphids on some cabbagey plants. Did I pull out the insecticide? No, I waited a few days and returned with my camera to witness the inevitable carnage, because aphids are the McDinners of a number of beneficial predators, not just ladybird beetles, but also syrphid flies, lacewings, and most fearsome of all, the parasitoids! crush href="http://qw88nb88.wordpress.com/beautiful-butterflies-bees-bugs-etc/">Story, pix and scientific nomenclature here.
