Lichens, slime moulds and wasps: Royal Horticultural Society lists top beneficial wildlife for garden
In not so distant times, a list of garden wildlife for many horticulturalists could have been a list of deadly enemies, containing aphids, slugs, snails and other creatures previously thought of as irritants.
But as awareness of the biodiversity crisis grows, horticulturalists have become more aware of the importance of wild flora and fauna, and the important role gardeners can play in conserving it.
Now, the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), the largest gardening charity in the UK, has released a list of the top beneficial wildlife to welcome into the back yard.
