- **Event Description**: Come learn about lady bugs, aphids, lacewings,  zombie insects, parasitic wasps and why lazy gardeners leave leaf litter to defend tomatoes.About this EventThe Friends of the University of Alberta presentRaise The Bar with Janet SperlingSpring gardens and Zombie insectsAs we venture into our dormant gardens, clearing away wet leaves and broken branches, we should be on the lookout for lady bugs, those fearsome foes of aphids, and lacewings, ferocious predators of the same sap sucking hemipterans. A lucky few will stumble on zombie insects. A naive gardener may see innocent parasitized aphids and gasp when a parasitic wasp emerges. Gardening will never be the same when you learn to recognize signs of our heroic plant defenders - also known as Biological Control agents - defenders that predate human agriculture. We will learn why lazy gardeners who leave the leaf litter may be helping to defend our treasured tomatoes.Relish Bar & Market        NEW VENUE!9570 - 76 Ave NW5:10 PM Doors Open6:00 PM Speaker8:00 PM Event EndsTicket includes 1 drink (beer, wine, non-alcoholic)Janet Sperling, PhD is an alumna of the University of Alberta where she first graduated with a B.Sc.Ag in Horticulture, followed by an MSc in Entomology and more recently a PhD in Systematics and Evolution.
