Is that a question? BT or spinosad, but since you're interested in saving as many insect species as possible, BT would be the way to go.

They don't look like ladybugs to me. I'd say you're spot on with the stink bugs:

The brown marmorated stink bug is a voracious eater that damages fruit, vegetable, and ornamental crops. Our team of researchers is uncovering its secrets.

Yes sir they are Harlequin bugs/ Stink bugs. I have used BT. I have some Assassin bugs on the way theyll be here tomorrow they LOVE caterpillars or many other soft bodied insects im trying to diversify my beneficial insect's around here
 
Yah, didn't work for me.

And even the lady bugs don't hang around my garden so I never dove into the beneficial insect thing. Too expensive to have them all fly away!

Quite a few the weather has been good for a week and a half but its humid as hell again and we got just a little rain today how about you guys are you in a drought?

We've had zero rain in the last 4 months but that's what's expected here. We need wet and snowy winters in CA to carry us through the summer and fall, but after a couple of good winters we're out of drought for the moment. Still, I can't have a garden like yours even if I had the acreage, that would be a huge waste of water in a semi-arid environment! I only regularly water my cannabis and my fruit trees.
 
Tomatoes are doing good again same xare as my weed plants

We don't have the sun and soil for veggies in the back (or I would have put the cannabis in the ground), and I'm not committing to a vegetable garden outside our living room window! There is a community garden at the back of the local middle school, so when I retire I may apply for a plot there. But that would be next summer's concept, :slide:
