The group includes 11 genera—recognizable by macro characteristics—and 80 species. Join us for a basic review of their identification features to build confidence in your own abilities to recognize species in the field. The workshop will include a lecture and discussion, keying practice, and field identification. Bring a lunch. $85 for NPT members, $100 for nonmembers.
