Rove beetle 🐛 IPM

A family of predatory beetles (Staphylinidae) that feed on fungus gnat larvae, thrips pupae, and other soil pests — a key living-soil beneficial.

Jeremy finds rove beetles alive in the Colorado Worm Company casting bag and says 'those are predators that you have to buy and they just come in the colorado worm company castings because they're alive they're not sterilized'.
