Unlike most species of ants\, members of a single colony are not closely related to each other; each colony is genetically diverse. Join Professor Diane Wiernasz of the University of Houston as she discusses how the harvester ant life cycle is an adaptation to the harsh conditions of the desert\, how these ants affect the abundance and distribution of plant communities\, and the sometimes surprising consequences of colony genetic variation.

The diversity in this family of insects has been well-characterized yet they have largely been represented by only a few select species which have been introduced in the U.S. via different methods. So\, who are our native lady beetles? What are their dietary preferences and habitat needs? This presentation is an introduction to some of the native lady beetles in the greater Houston area and an overview of their biology and habitat needs. Additionally\, the presentation will explore threats to lady beetle populations\, how iNaturalist can be used as a tool to discover who our native lady beetles\, and some of the misconceptions about these fascinating insects. Join this conversation with Rebecca Lloyd\, Texas Master Naturalist\, as we wonder at Texas Lady beetles!  Please register for this talk on www.eventbrite.com.
