Lidt sjovt at lige præsis Sandvikke (Hairy vetch) er nævnt i artiklen herover, afsnittet om hvad der tiltrækker mariehøns, i den her altankasse på billede med mariehønelarve og puppe, var der faktisk Sandvikke.
Som kan ses på dette billede
Anden plante nævnt i artiklen er Lobularia maritima (Sweet alyssum white), under planter der tiltrækker svirrefluer (Hoverflies), det har jeg også bemærket at Biblomme gør.
Svirreflue larve i sving med at jage bladlus og så snart jeg plantede dem, kom der rigtig mange larver i alle mine planter og blomster, generet af bladlusene.
Svirrefluer har hele tiden besøgt mine planter, men da jeg plantede Sweet alyssum white, kom der et helt boom i larver
