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.
Harlequin bugs are smelly bugs that pierce the tissue of plants and suck the fluids.  Keeping your garden clear of debris and using crop covers is a preventative measure. If you find these bugs, spray with a soapy water solution.

When planning a vegetable garden, know what varieties will grow in your climate, know the frost dates, plant cool weather plants either early or late, know each vegetable's time to maturity, start successive plantings in a nursery to save garden space.
