SUMMARY:Discovering Our Texas Native Lady Beetles
DESCRIPTION:Lady beetles\, or ladybugs\, have long been recognized as one of the best biological controls for many insect pests in both home gardens and agri-business. 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. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions. \n
