My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Can you identifiy this good bug?

20 years ago

I have a friend in my garden. It starts out as a nymph with a red abdomen and was hanging out on lantana. I saw the adult on a grapevine. It (obviously) likes to eat japanese beetles, to it is definitely a good bug!

Thanks,

Bellatrix
