More information coming soon.

In the garden we get joy from seeing butterflies sipping from puddles, moths blending in with the bark of a tree, and flies… well, some flies do very interesting things. Do you wonder how they spend their time in their younger life? Although insects spend most of their life as juveniles, those forms are often much more cryptic. When you come across an interesting caterpillar, maggot or worm how do you know “who” it is?Clallam County Master Gardener Program Coordinator, Laurel Moulton, will join us to take a look at the juvenile forms of some common insects in the garden. Part 1 of this two-part series will cover common butterfly and moth larvae, as well as fly larvae and a few others that have a worm-like appearance when they’re young.

Tune in for part 2 on August 12, in person in the Commissioners Meeting Room at the Clallam County Courthouse. Laurel will return to help you learn to identify the juvenile forms (and sometimes eggs) of beetles, true bugs, and other insects that are commonly encountered in the garden.
