These Creepy Insects Found In Texas Are Harmless and Good For Your Garden

If you're like me, you're not a fan of creepy-looking bugs that look like they are about to take your soul. In fact, I know that anytime I see a spider my blood pressure skyrockets and I become a martial arts expert. It's quite a sight to see. I hate spiders.

You've probably seen many insects on this list in your garden as Spring covers the state of Texas.
