The Bioblitz webinar I attended was called “What lies beneath”. In the webinar, the five hosts each did a mini presentation on different species of insects and their popular characteristics. I learned about so many new species that live in vast areas of the world such as nasutitermes which can be found in the tropics. Insects despite their varying sizes can be extremely strong! They should us several demonstrations such as a dainty spider lifting what looked to be a berry on its body and really pushed through. There were some particularly scary (at least for me) aspects such as learning about the spotted lantern fly; a species that recently came over to the United States a few years ago that has a similar hunger for tree sap like stink bugs do but their feces can create a harmful mold that can decimate crops. Definitely wouldn’t want that on your produce. All in all, the webinar was very informative.
