Collapse ▲Bugs (AKA Arthropods) of Your Backyard!
In this presentation, Matt Bertone will discuss the things that make arthropods arthropods (what even are they?) and talk about some of the major groups. He will highlight those that can be commonly found in North Carolina, including information about their identification and biology (the “who”s and “why”s of local critters). Although there are too many out there to discuss, Matt hopes to touch on the ones most people ask about.
