How will a hotter planet reshape the insect world? On June 18, join entomologist and author Michael Raupp for a look at the future of insects, both pests and pollinators. He will reveal how climate change is shifting weather patterns around the globe, and what that means for insects and mites in the mid-Atlantic. Learn how rising temperatures impact insect abundance, distributions, seasonal behaviors and the web of interactions among plants, herbivores and their natural enemies. Part of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center's free "Life on a Sustainable Planet" webinar series.
