Beetles are the most diverse group of living things on the planet, making up nearly one quarter of all described species! Such diversity means that beetles provide a wide range of services for humans and our ecosystems, from nature’s clean-up crew to pollination to pest control and everything in between. Join us as we learn about the beauty, benefits, and biodiversity of our spectacular native beetles.
This program takes place in person at Mt. Cuba Center on Saturday, October 5, 2024.
