Have you seen this guy in your garden yet? If so, count yourself lucky and step away from the bug spray!This is a Soldier Beetle and it's one of the beneficial bugs in your garden. Their cuisine of choice in adulthood are aphids (which by judging by my yard are quite plentiful right now) and pollen/nectar. Despite their appearance, they don't bite, sting or pinch and my girls love to catch them.
