DESCRIPTION:Wasps are more than yellowjackets and hornets. They are mostly solitary\, non-stinging friends that are valuable agents of pest control\, important pollinators\, and even seed dispersers. Join us for a pain-free deep dive into the lives of these amazing insects. Fascination\, awe\, and beauty are guaranteed. \nPresented by Eric R. Eaton\, author of Bugwatching: The Art\, Joy\, and Importance of Observing Insects\, plus Insectpedia: A Brief Compendium of Insect Lore\, andWasps: The Astonishing Diversity of a Misunderstood Insect\, all from Princeton University Press. He is also lead author of the Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America\, and co-author of Insects Did It First\, with Gregory S. Paulson. He runs the blog Bug Eric and is known far and wide as “Bug Eric” on the internet. \nAfter the event\, attendees are invited to participate in the first day of the biodiversity challenge. See how many different kinds of plants\, animals\, and insects you can find in our arboretum!
