   • Grow insect-friendly plants. If you add a diversity of plants to your garden, the diversity of insects will increase, simply because different insects like different types of plant.
   • Create a log pile. Fallen leaves and log piles in shady spots make great hiding places for insects like worms (Lumbricina), woodlice (Oniscidea), millipedes (Diplopoda) and centipedes (Chilopoda).
   • Let an area of your garden grow wild. The messier the garden the better! Of course, you don't have to let your whole garden turn into a jungle, but you can apply this principle to a small patch of lawn or a hidden corner because insects will thrive in something a bit wilder.
   • Create a compost heap. You can save garden and kitchen waste to make your own compost, which is great for the soil and your plants. As well as being a sustainable way to recycle waste from your household, it will benefit your garden by attracting a host of insects.
