Speaker Series: Wasps & Bees of the Wilmington Area w/Dr. Wayne Hoffman
This talk will describe the ancestry and radiation of the Hymenoptera, the order of Insects that includes Wasps and Bees (and also Ants and Sawflies). It will be illustrated with over 60 photographs of the larger and more colorful local species, and describe the habitat and life histories of many of them. It will also highlight the roles of many of them as pollinators, and of others as predators and control agents of other insect pests. After the lecture, you will enjoy a short walk in the pollinator garden (weather permitting). This event will take place on March 18th from 6:30-7:30pm at Airlie Gardens. Register Here
