Native Predatory Wasps: Their Role as Pollinators and Beneficial Insects

7:00 – 8:30 PM

Heather Holm, Pollinator Conservationist and Author

Diverse, flower-rich landscapes provide critical habitat for predatory wasps to consume flower nectar and hunt for insects (and spiders) to feed their offspring. Discover the amazing natural history and biology of native wasps. Learn about their nesting habitat, prey specificity, and the ecosystem services—including pest insect population control and pollination—they provide.
