Many of Michigan’s rarest inset species rely on native plant species for foraging resources during their larval or adult stage. I will provide an overview of rare insect species found in Michigan and highlight their close associations with native plants. I will discuss interesting insect life histories and provide examples of ongoing conservation efforts and partnerships that aim to improve populations of rare insects at both local and landscape scales. Together we will explore multiple taxa, including bumble bees, butterflies, moths, beetles, and more.
