Beneficial Backyard Bugs

Thursday, June 26 - 7:00 PM (Zoom)

With approximately 20,000 insect species in Wisconsin, we tend to focus on the pests that catch our attention. However, the vast majority of insects in our yards and gardens are species that serve as beneficial predators, parasites, pollinators, or recyclers. In this webinar, we’ll take a closer look at these many beneficial creatures.  
PJ’s primary role is to serve as the director of the UW-Madison Insect Diagnostic Lab where he handles approximately 2,500 insect identification requests every year. He also teaches on the UW-Madison campus and provides entomology-related outreach throughout the state, including regular appearances on Wisconsin Public Radio’s The Larry Meiller Show.
