My mother is of Andean origin, she was born in Táchira Capacho, a formerly rural area that has had recent urban development.

She usually has in her garden at home in a building she brought an area to plant of a medium size enough to plant.

There is, among others, the aromatic plant OREGANO whose leaves are used to season food and if it is on the window, its smell scares away flies, which has proven to be effective, since my mother gave me an oregano plant that I brought it to my house in MARIPERES.

There we are relatively close to the Ávila mountain and there at certain times there is an increase in beetles as well as this ASIAN GARDEN BEETLE, which although it is not usually a problem but you have to be careful because it eats plants.

So I took this beautiful photo where you can see my very useful OREGANO plant, which has significantly reduced the presence of flies and also serves to season my meals. This plant is cared for by my daughters who water it daily and this beautiful beetle.

Another very interesting entry, thank you! I know that the Andes are home to some amazing insect species. When we visited Colombia, for example, we saw many of these giant rhinoceros beetles :)
