Birds
Spiders
Frogs
Other beneficial insects

Insects as Messengers, Not Just Pests
It’s easy to brush off the arrival of insects as annoying. But sometimes, repeated sightings or sudden “invasions” of certain bugs can actually signal larger environmental changes.
If you’ve started seeing more leafhoppers than usual—especially inside your home—it may be a signal that something in your local environment has shifted. This could be due to:
Warmer weather patterns
Local development pushing wildlife into new spaces
Reduction in natural predators (like birds or frogs)
Nearby pesticide use disrupting their natural habitat
Instead of reaching for the spray, pause for a moment.
