The Ag-Urban Landscape Ecology Lab is hosting three sessions of a workshop this year in May to kick off The Buckeye Lady Beetle Blitz 2015. This workshop will focus on training for our Buckeye Lady Beetle Blitz citizen science project. We will provide a review of lady beetle identification and sampling procedures, and distribute the 2015 toolkits. Dr. Mary Gardiner will also cover information from her new book, Good Garden Bugs, due out this May. Participants will learn about the diversity of beneficial arthropods that inhabit their garden. A flier is attached with additional information, and even more can found online at http://www.ladybeetles.osu.edu.
