Join education coordinator Michelle Campanis and naturalist Stephen Lyn Bales via Zoom for Songs of Summer Insects on Thursday, August 1, 7 p.m.
We will look at our local insects and just how they make all that racket. The August Nature Supper Club presentation is hosted by the UT Arboretum Society.
We are well into summer now. Spring is over, most of the birds have raised their families and they are much quieter. They are also staying out of the heat, but not some insects. The male crickets, cicadas, grasshoppers and katydids are making themselves known with loud mating calls. Night times can get loud. We can’t call them vocalizations because insects use other parts of their bodies to make the sounds.
The program is free, but you must register to be sent a link to watch the live presentation and the recording at your convenience. Register at here under Programs. Please contact Michelle Campanis at her email for any questions or registration issues.
