Bugs
One of the positives to come out of the COVID-19 pandemic is the huge number of online educational opportunities that are available. We are taking advantage of these workshops and seminars whenever possible. Since mid August, we've watched and discussed the following: "Wood Chips as Mulch", "Climate Change and Trees", "Urban Landscaping With Natives", "Tree Failure Profiles", Rare and Unusual Natives", "Agaves", "Blueberries", "Renovating and Pruning Overgrown Gardens", "Bulbs", Six King County weed control seminars, and "Figs". We have another twelve (at least) through mid November.
On April 24th, we all tuned in (on separate devices) to an online webinar titled Bugs Of Spring. This was presented by Sharon Collman, Emeritus Professor, WSU Extension. Sharon covered the insects to watch for as we move through our landscapes, nurseries and gardens in the spring. Recognition and early detection allows you to determine whether you can ignore it for now or if you need to take action to prevent damage. Some of the new invasive insects to watch for are spotted lantern fly, European Chafer, Japanese Beetle, and Lily Leaf Beetle. We are now more able to identify new invasive species in the properties we maintain and in our neighborhoods. Thanks WSNLA and Sharon !
