Meet ‘The Bug Guy’—Dr. Michael J. Raupp—at our monthly Zoom nature talk 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 1!
Check out wicked wasps, bodacious beetles, fierce flies, and other arthropod allies that provide vital functions and enhance the sustainability of our landscapes and gardens. Mike, entomology professor emeritus at the University of Maryland, will show us simple steps to enhance the abundance and contributions of beneficial insects and ways to conserve them in your garden.
If you are on our “Osprey” newsletter list, you will receive the Zoom link. You can sign up at the bottom of this home page @ www.somdaudubon.org.
Talk may qualify for continuing education hours for Master Naturalists and Master Gardeners.
