Insect Visitors in Your Garden: Friend or Foe?

Colorado gardens have a wide diversity of insect and arthropod visitors, each playing a key role in the garden ecosystem–yes, even wasps have their purpose! This presentation will go over a broad range of garden insects and arthropods, their role in the ecosystem, and if they are a friend or foe. We will cover the benefits insects and arthropods provide, as well as management options for some of the common pests and invasive species we find in the garden.
