Gardening For Insects – Or Not!
The benefits of improving habitat for various “beneficial” of or desirable kinds of insects has increasingly been recognized. While we may know how to do this for insects such as butterflies and some kinds of bees, we often miss the details on how to adapt these practices to local conditions. During this program we will discuss how to build up populations of a wide range of “good bugs” that one can find around Fort Collins; from butterflies and hummingbird moths, to various kinds of bees and natural enemies of insect pests, and what can be done to avoid a few that are less desirable such as the miller moths.
