The Athol Bird & Nature Club is excited to host Eric R. Eaton on Zoom, February 14 at 7 pm Eastern. If birds are everywhere, insects are even more “everywhere.” In this age of insect decline, it is more urgent than ever to make observations of insects, share them with scientists, and act to reduce the impacts causing a reduction in biodiversity. Doing so can be challenging, but highly educational, entertaining, and even social. Come along for a fascinating primer on what it means to be a “bugwatcher.

Eric R. Eaton is a writer, author of Insectpedia: A Brief Compendium of Insect Lore, and Wasps: The Astonishing Diversity of a Misunderstood Insect. He is also lead author of the Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America, and co-author of Insects Did It First, with Gregory S. Paulson. Eric has also published articles in Natural History, Ranger Rick, Birds & Blooms, Missouri Conservationist, and other popular magazines. He has worked as an entomologist on contract with the Smithsonian, West Virginia Department of Natural Resources, University of Massachusetts (Amherst), and University of Colorado (Boulder). He runs the blogs Bug Eric and Sense of Misplaced. He currently lives in Leavenworth, Kansas, with his partner, Heidi.
