Explore the botanical world through the lens of insects as Andrew shows just how intimately intertwined plants and insects are. From pollinators and predation to dispersal methods and chemical warfare, the world of plants and insects is as wondrous as it is dangerous. There’s plenty to discover between these two vital groups of organisms even in our own backyards.

Registration Required.
