"Insect Allies: Predators and Parasitoids in the Garden" presented by North Fulton Master Gardeners


*The event has already taken place on this date: Sun, 03/19/2023
Don’t jump to conclusions when you see insects in your garden—many are providing free pest management! Insects, like lady beetles, lacewings, wasps, mantids, and more, are worth getting to know. In addition to reducing pest populations, many insect predators have fascinating life histories that enhance the complexity and wonder of our gardens. Fulton County Extension Agent and entomologist Gabrielle LaTora will cover common insect predators in the garden and easy ways we can conserve them.
