Candy-striped leafhopper, hobomok skipper and American painted lady

As it turns out, the spray did not work on the plants. The flea beetles and some of his leafhopper friends are back and this is what the broccoli looks like -

It's not all doom and gloom. These guys might make it:


A few days ago I ordered a beneficial bug pack (pictured below) from Gardner's Supply Co. It should be here any day now. There will certainly be plenty for them to eat when they arrive.



Hopefully, one or all of these things likes to eat/infect whatever is eating my plants.

Some insects spotted in the garden today:
