SUMMARY:The Hover Fly: Predaceous Pollinator  Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Hover flies\, a family of flies known as bee mimics\, frequently seen darting around flowers. Come learn about these interesting pollinators!\n\n\nHover flies\, also known as syrphids or flower flies\, are a family of flies best known as bee mimics\, are frequently seen darting around flowers. Despite this fly family’s small size and relatively hairless bodies\, they are valuable pollinators as adults. As larvae\, some hover fly species consume aphids and some species consume detritus\, an essential element in nutrient cycling. Hover flies may go unnoticed but provide essential services in your garden. In this talk\, you will learn more about how to identify them\, a bit about the research being conducted on the hover fly family\, and how gardening decisions can conserve their populations and invite them into your garden. Join the WSU Clark County Extension Master Gardener program as we host a talk from OSU Researcher Nina Miller. Put on in partnership with Clark County Public Health Green Neighbors Program.

SUMMARY:Insect Restoration And Conservation: Creating Usable Habitats In Human-Dominated Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:This event will be recorded and posted to: the Xerces Society YouTube channel\n\n\n\nAlthough most ecosystems on Earth are altered by humans\, we still have little understanding of how to do conservation\, especially of insects in human-dominated ecosystems. Join Dr. Chelse Prather\, Associate Professor of Biology at the Univeristy of Daylon\, to talk about four projects on this topic covering diverse ecosystems such as restored prairies\, greenroofs\, urban farms\, and solar arrays as well as diverse insect groups like beetles\, hemipterans\, bees\, ants\, and butterflies. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar. \nLearn more and register here today! \n\nDr. Chelse Prather – Associate Professor – University of Dayton\nDr. Chelse Prather is an ecologist with 20 years of diverse experience working with insect communities in forests\, grasslands\, and urban ecosystems. She is a passionate instructor\, mentor\, and scientist. She has managed a variety of projects from understanding basic insect ecology\, like what nutrients limit insect communities\, to very applied projects\, such as how the development of solar power affects insect communities.

SUMMARY:The State Of The Bees
DESCRIPTION:This event will be recorded and posted to: the Xerces Society YouTube channel\n\n\n\nHow are U.S. bee species faring in light of the major threats they are facing? What more do we need to know to protect them? There are over 3\,600 species of bees in the United States\, but we only know the conservation status of about 20% of those species. This makes it difficult to make decisions about how to prioritize bee conservation. Join Saff Killingsworth\, Xerces Endangered Species Conservation Biologist and State of the Bees Initiative\, to discuss how conservation biologists decide which bees are imperiled and which bees are safe\, highlight some interesting bees of conservation concern\, and talk about the Xerces Society’s effort to understand the conservation status of all U.S. bee species. \nThis webinar will be recorded and available on our YouTube channel. Closed Captioning will be available during this webinar. \nLearn more and register here today! \n\nSaff Killingsworth – Endangered Species Conservation Biologist\, State of the Bees Initiative – Xerces Society

SUMMARY:Science On Tap: Boosting Biodiversity with Insect-Friendly Gardens
DESCRIPTION:Insects are essential to life on Earth\, but insect populations are in trouble. However\, there is hope in our own yards. There are many things you can do to make a real difference in improving insect biodiversity right where you live. Our gardens can host an astonishing variety of insect life—if we provide the habitat\, we can make a real difference. \nFive years ago\, Amy Campion began making over her Portland garden to better serve the insects sharing her space. She was amazed by the creatures that soon showed up. She saw leafcutter bees harvesting petals to make nurseries\, grass-carrying wasps building their distinctive nests\, newly minted dragonflies taking their first flights. In all\, she’s seen more than 400 insect species in her little 7\,000 sq ft plot. \nIn this talk\, you’ll learn 8 things you can do to create more insect-friendly habitat in your own garden\, and you’ll meet some of the fascinating creatures that show up when you welcome them in. You’ll learn: \n* to appreciate aphids\n* to prioritize pollen over nectar\n* why you should feed caterpillars and with what\n* who’s living in your perennial stems\n* how to attract more “tickle bees” to your landscape\, and\n* how to control mosquitoes in your pond (without fish!) \n[Amy Campion](http://www.amycampion.com/) grew up in Minnesota\, but she became a gardener in the Cincinnati area\, where she worked at a wholesale nursery for 16 years. In 2013\, she moved to Portland\, Oregon\, and in 2017\, Amy co-authored *Gardening in the Pacific Northwest: The Complete Homeowner’s Guide* with Paul Bonine.\n——– \n**COST**:\n**$15.00** DISCOUNT (senior\, student\, it’s your birthday\, just can’t afford the GA price right now)\n**$25.00** GENERAL ADMISSION\n**$35.00** VIP Premium seating (front center rows)\n**$45.00** SUPPORTER: Premium seating\, pint glass (beer not included)\, and good feelings for supporting the program \n**TICKETS**: [Get tickets!](https://www.kigginstheatre.com/checkout/showing/science-on-tap—boosting-biodiversity/2363872) \nVisit the [Science On Tap website](https://www.scienceontaporwa.org/)
