Plants and bugs share many relationships. Most simply stated, each helps the other stay alive and thrive. Volunteers during the tour will see various examples of the many interactions that occur year round. For those wanting to take the extra steps, we will speak about using i Naturalist, BugGuide and similar apps that help identify and track various lifeforms. We'll speak to habitat, bloom times, the state of insects around the world and the many things we can do to support insects and the plants that work together.
