Beneficial Bugs & How to Help Them
June 15, 2023 @ 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM
The world is running out of insects and that’s bad news for humans. Research reports that 40% of insects are in decline globally and nearly a third endangered (Biological Conservation, 2019). Learn what insects are “good guys” for gardeners; how earwigs, spiders, and other creepy crawlies help maintain ecological harmony; and what you can do to help the pollinators and garden allies in your own yard or garden.
This program also launches a new addition to the NVPL Library of Things: The Pollinator Observation Kit. Check out the kit and contribute valuable data as a citizen scientist!
