About this Event
Seating is limited. Registration is recommended:
Beetles make up a large part of the natural world. One in five known species is a beetle and new beetle species are being discovered constantly. With over 450,000 recorded species, the order of beetles, Coleoptera, contains a myriad of biodiversity and ecological roles. Understanding beetles is therefore fundamental to understanding the nature of life on earth.
Stephanie Dole is a PhD Entomologist who specializes in educating people of all ages about the wonderful world of terrestrial arthropods. Through her business, Beetlelady, she teaches programs in the Bay Area and beyond, hoping to instill a love of bugs in others. She will present on the astonishing diversity of insects and beetles specifically, as well as her own research into the diversity of tropical bark beetles. Spend an evening glimpsing the beauty of beetles and gaining an understanding of their importance to the the natural world.
