  1. wild bees kill domestic bees ,wasps kill bees,Praying Mantis will eat anything even large grass hoppers ,so do ants they gang up on big insects even scorpions who kill lots of bugs .

    Lady bugs eat lice

    cockroaches anything smaller than them.

    In short there are hundreds of predator insects

    and a few herbivores ,like butterflies ,and caterpillers,locusts

    The best insect control is frogs ,geckos,lizards ,iguanas ,small thin tree snakes ,

    A small chicken like a Silkey,bantam and the bigger chickens with plumes on their feet as well as partridge ,pheasant ,guinney fowl,kill about 70 % of all walking and hopping insects

    And of course the birds ,they go for the caterpillars and bugs in the trees

    encourage all of these things ,put bird feeders out ,don`t have a cat which kills all of these creatures

    Also have a diversity of plants so that the insect world is balanced and so will be the predators that follow

    Always have fish in any standing water  to eat mosquito larvae

    A Natural eco system is the cheapest ,and the healthiest

    don`t come with Chemicals as doubtless some Eco terrorists  will suggest

    ,Because the poison accumulates on the ground and gets washed downwards into the water systems with the rains

    And spraying will also kill the hundreds of species of insects that we need to keep things going normally

    there are many books on organic pest control

    Get

    The Permaculture designers manual by Bill Mollison,which cost about 40 dollars.

    and is the best all round book you can get,on Environmental design,.(tagiari publishing, tagariadmin@southcom.com.au)

  2. Ants, Hercules Beetle, Dung Beetle, Preying Mantis etc... just google/ yahoo! it and you will find the answer. Or watch tv on insect wars.

  3. Spiders... there not an insect but still can get pretty aggressive when need be.

  4. Ants will attack nearly any insect they can catch.  You can make a net out of an old pillowcase.  Put a metal hanger around the outside edge and attach a pole.  You should be able to catch any flying insect.  Look under paving stones, rocks and other objects that have a broad cover over the earth.  Wasps are spider killers.  I once caught a black widow spider under a glass on rough ground.  Before I could put something under the glass to hold the spider a wasp flew in and attacked the spider.  It was over quickly with the wasp killing a spider twice its size.

  5. Lol, theres no guarantee that you will find any insects in your yard that anyone mentions. I would say look for ants from different colonies, they usually don't get along together, but then again, you most likely wont find two different colonies in your back yard unless your yard was vVERY big.

    You shouldnt be trying to make insects fight each other anyways =(.
