Then, meet us early for our 6:30 p.m. social half-hour with refreshments. Refreshments will also be available after the meeting.

7:00 p.m.: Get to know your backyard beauties and misunderstood “monsters!” This presentation will give an overview of some of the beneficial insects (and other arthropods) you may see in your garden or backyard. As part of integrated pest management (IPM), you’ll learn ways to help pollinators, natural enemies, and decomposers.

Dr. Joanie King is an assistant professor and Extension entomologist. Alongside Extension and outreach, Dr. King’s lab focuses on host-parasite interactions, community ecology, and IPM. Dr. King also researches how to plan effective science outreach and science communication. In addition to serving the NMSU community through Extension and research, she is active in the Entomological Society of America. Sharing bug science is cool!

This meeting is hybrid: we will meet on Zoom and in-person on the NMSU campus — room 101 of the the Biology Annex, Herbarium Building, 3080 Williams Avenue. Obtain the Zoom link prior to this meeting by emailing your request to: LC@npsnm.org.
