Insects - The little things that run your Garden
Resource type
Lecture
Creator (person)
Whiffin, Ashleigh L
Abstract
Gardens can support an incredible diversity of insects, but beyond butterflies and bees, how aware are you of these 6-legged neighbours? Do you know what bizarre behaviours and essential services are occurring in the undergrowth?
Join Ashleigh as she shares her passion for some of the unconventionally charismatic insects, and why they are so essential for a happy garden. She’ll also provide a peak behind the scenes of the Entomology collection at National Museums Scotland and explain what’s involved in caring for 2.5 million insect specimens and how the collection is used to promote and even protect present insect populations.
