Praying Mantises live throughout most of the US and Canada.  The "patient predators" will eat flies, leafhoppers, caterpillars, and aphids.   These garden friendly insect predators sometimes will munch on the other good guys - like bees and wasps.

Soldier beetles will take on almost all destructive bugs, like cankerworms, caterpillars, white grubs, slugs, moths, grasshoppers, aphids, mites, and cutworms.

Leafhoppers are 1/4 inch long pests that like to suck the juices right out leaves, buds,and stems.  You can keep these bugs away by planting petunias, geraniums and perennial grasses - they hate moisture and low light.

Ladybugs are found in the US, mostly in the western states of Nevada and California.  These 1/2 inch long beetles feed on whiteflies, mealybugs, scales, and aphids.  Keep ladybugs around by spraying a little sugar water on a few leaves.
