The last couple of years the earwigs have been terrible. They eat everything and my basil gets eaten down to the stalks. I’ve tried all kinds of things and nothing seems to work other than keeping the soil dry which only mildly helps. This year I noticed a spider hanging out in my basil plant. It kept getting bigger and my basil grew better than ever! Now I take extra care of my spider buddy!

A couple months ago I had a big ass fly buzzing around my room and annoying the shit out of me for like 2 hours. Then the pitch of it changed and sounded more frantic so I looked up and a jumping spider was murdering it in the corner of my window. If I could have high fived that little guy I would have.
