Once your yard plants have died back in the fall, you might wonder where all the insects you saw spend the winter. Most stay right in your yard, just hidden (and often in a different life stage!) Quality overwintering habitat like leaves, stems, stumps, rock shelters, and bare soil provides year-round habitat for all sorts of beneficial insects that eat pests in your yard!
