Insect Ecology and Plant-Insect Interactions

Building on last week’s class Introduction to Entomology, we’ll take a deeper dive into the highly specific relationships that insects have with one another, as well as the amazing evolutionary history between insects and plants. We will discuss not only how insects interact within their environment, but also how their environments affect them and what you can do to preserve and protect our six-legged friends.
