Event description

This talk explores some of the most persistent insect myths we hear across Colorado (and our planet) — from misconceptions about “dangerous” species to misunderstandings about pests, pollinators, and household visitors. Melissa Schreiner, from CSU Extension in the Tri-River Area, will walk through why these myths persist, what the science actually tells us, and how simple shifts in understanding can help people make more informed, confident decisions in their homes, gardens, and communities.
