Land Trust Presents Entertaining Program on Insects

For forty days and forty nights, naturalists Charley Eiseman and Noah Charney traveled the continent. They returned with thousands of photographs, not of Yosemite's grand vistas or Yellowstone's bison herds, but of tiny eggs stuck to flagpoles, origami made by beetles and the artfully crafted portable houses of caddisfly larvae. The trip was field work for their award-winning book, Tracks and Sign of Insects and Other Invertebrates.

The Wild and Wonderful World of Insects, an entertaining presentation by Charley Eiseman and Noah Charney, will be held on Monday, June 11 at 7 p.m. in , 1 Ruggles St.  The public is invited to this 15th anniversary program of the Westborough Community Land Trust.

In this free talk, the authors will show images of exquisite invertebrate-created objects, discuss mind-boggling natural history, and share amusing anecdotes from their eccentric journeys. Professional entomologists and bug-haters alike have found themselves rolling with laughter and staring in horrified fascination during this engaging presentation.

The program will be followed by a reception and refreshments. The annual meeting of the Westborough Community Land Trust will follow the presentation. For more information, contact events@westboroughlandtrust.org.
