What:​ You might be repelled by grasshoppers or Mormon crickets, but can you take a moment to learn about their surprising ecological value within western ecosystems? Sharon Selvaggio with the Xerces Society will discuss what’s problematic with the large programs to stamp down these native insects, the threats insecticides pose to pollinators and other beneficial bugs, and solutions across landscapes and for the home garden.

Li Murphy with the Yale School of the Environment will discuss her ongoing research into human and Mormon cricket interactions in Nevada and other western states.
