Oregon Zoo Wildlife Conservation Lecture Series - What Good Are Bugs? The Case for Invertebrate Conservation
Tuesday April 29, 2008 at 7:00pm
Oregon Zoo
4001 Sw Canyon Rd
Portland, Oregon 97221 Get Directions
Scott Black, Entomologist, Xerces Society

Black makes a compelling case for appreciating bugs. People can thank insect pollinators for one third of every mouthful of food they eat. Without the lowliest flies in a stream for young fish to eat, grilled salmon would never make the menu. In fact, the direct benefit of insects to Americans is around $57 billion a year. Prepare to be astounded and enlightened about some of the planet's smallest, but most important inhabitants.
