“Restoring & Protecting Our Waterways”Wild World of Wasps!
Wasps are a very diverse group of insects. Some species can be nuisance pests, creating galls on plants and stinging people, but many others are beneficial pollinators and predators of pests, such as aphids. And some wasps are just cool! In this webinar, the University of CA Agriculture and Natural Resources Program will discuss different behaviors of wasps and some of their roles in the ecosystem.ย Register here
