6:30 pm    A Bug’s Life in Michigan’s Forests
Featuring entomologist, Andrew Storer, MTU School of Forest Resources

Despite the snow covered landscape, insects are still abundant in Michigan's forests as overwintering eggs, larvae, nymphs, pupae or adults.  As the weather warms, these insects will become even more noticeable by their presence or as a result of their activities.  Explore where some of the most damaging insects are now, where they will be later and what potential damage we might see.
