Caterpillars, Connections, and Why Biodiversity Matters

Using a combination of live presentation, digital microscope work, slides, and life history image plates, Sam Jaffe of The Caterpillar Lab will delve deeper into the world of native caterpillars than ever before. By exploring complex natural history stories involving caterpillars, their host plants, and their predators and parasitoids, the true scope and importance of biodiversity will be revealed. This presentation goes beyond the established narratives of bees and butterflies and will hopefully help guide us further in our efforts to support and promote local biodiversity.
