Join us for our virtual Fall Meeting where we’ll dive into the fascinating world of insects and their importance in our ecosystem!
Butterfly, ladybug, firefly, caterpillar, luna moth, bumble bee– all insects! (Spotted lanternfly– also an insect.)
Insects play a crucial role in our world. Yet, their numbers are declining at a steady and alarming rate. Most insects are extremely beneficial to our local ecosystems. Our birds, plants, flowers, trees, and vegetables could not survive without them! However, there are some insects–displaced from their original habitat– that pose challenges to our local environment.
During our event, Dr. Linda Fink will discuss the beauty and importance of insects, and will examine the effects of invasive organisms on our native insects. She will also talk about the effects of invasive insects on our forests.
