Please tell me this is nothing to worry about

I found about 10 or so hornworms this year. Very light considering I have around 200 plants. The first one I found was already sick and almost dead, his insides were liquefying from some natural disease. I also saw large wasps hunting them, and some kind of predatory black fly. Was finding about 1 a day for a few days, and finally towards the end I found 4 or 5 in 1 day. That's when I pulled out the Bt as a back up system. No more hornworms.

I also had some mites and small aphids. On the day I was about to finally pull out the neem, I saw this fast moving tiny speck.....I am not exactly sure what it was, but I definitely recognized hunting behavior. So I didn't spray neem. Several days later all signs of aphids and mites on my tomatoes vanished.

The one thing that has needed both Neem and Bt was the eggplant, although I have only sprayed once and that was just a couple days ago.

Over all I am pretty happy with the natural biosystems keeping pests under control this year. It has only needed very little help from me so far.
