“Invasive Fruit Flies, Stink Bugs and Hornets: Where Are They Now?” by Laurel Moulton
Thursday, October 28
Over the past decade or so, experts have warned about three different insects that we should be watching for. Two of them, the spotted wing drosophila and brown marmorated stink bug, have the potential to make growing certain crops much harder for farmers and gardeners. The third, Asian giant hornet, could impact honeybees. After all the hype, where are they now?
Get an update on invasive insects that may be in our area from Laurel Moulton, Program Coordinator for the Clallam County Master Gardeners. Thursday, Oct. 28, from noon to 1:00 pm via Zoom, she will give an overview of the insect life cycles, the potential impacts, and the actual impacts that have been seen locally as a result of these non-native pests.

Phone: Call: 253 215 8782; Meeting ID: 943 4333 9396, Passcode: 447604
Participants will come away from this presentation with knowledge about how to identify these pests, an understanding of their lifecycles, and information on managing or reporting them when they are found. Time permitting, Laurel will introduce additional invasive organisms that home gardeners should be on the lookout for.
Laurel has been a Master Gardener since 2006, and in 2011 received her master’s degree in horticulture with a minor in entomology from Oregon State University. She was studying for her graduate degree right as the spotted wing fruit fly and brown marmorated stink bug came to the attention of farmers and gardeners in the Pacific Northwest.
The “Green Thumbs Garden Tips” education series, sponsored by the WSU Clallam County Master Gardeners, is held on the second and fourth Thursday each month through October. In November, December, and January, one lecture is offered. Scheduled presentations are subject to change. Visit the WSU Extension Clallam County website calendar for the latest information on upcoming presentations. For questions, call 360-565-2679.
