Adults can also learn about the insects in their gardens, yards and homes.\nSydney Trio, McCrory Gardens Education Coordinator and SDSU Extension Horticulture Assistant, said the event helps spread the understanding and importance of insects in our environment, from pollination to providing a food source for other animals.\n“Insects are very important in helping many things in the environment we might not always see but we definitely benefit from,” Trio said.\nTrio and Amanda Bachmann, SDSU Extension Urban Entomology Field Specialist, are co-hosting the event, which will also feature SDSU Extension horticulture experts, Master Gardeners, and John Ball, professor, SDSU Extension Forestry Specialist and South Dakota Department of Agriculture and Natural Resources Forest Health Specialist.\nAttendees can also vote on an insect photo contest and participate in a monarch butterfly tagging program.
