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.

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.
For United States gardeners ... remember to fertilize your lawn around the summer holidays.  First on Memorial Day weekend to start the summer, again on Labor Day after the heat of the summer has passed, and finally near Halloween for a healthy lawn next spring.

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.
