A garden food web and chain?

Food Web:

1. Plants (e.g., flowers, fruits, vegetables) produced by the garden ecosystem serve as the primary energy source.

2. Aphids: Small insects that feed on plant sap and other plant parts.

3. Ladybugs: Predatory insects that feed on aphids and other small insects.

4. Birds (e.g., sparrows, finches): Consume ladybugs, aphids, and other insects.

5. Snakes: Feed on birds, rodents, and other small animals in the garden.

Food Chain:

1. Plants -> Aphids

2. Aphids -> Ladybugs

3. Ladybugs -> Birds

4. Birds -> Snakes

This simplified food web and chain demonstrate how energy and nutrients flow through a garden ecosystem. Each level in the food chain represents a trophic level, with energy being transferred from one level to the next as organisms consume each other.
