# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Friend or Foe: How to Manage Beneficial vs. Harmful Bugs in Your Garden
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 11 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am (-07:00)
- **Event Description**: Your garden hosts way more insects than you think—and not all of them are out to munch your plants. In reality, many of the “creepy-crawlies” we instinctively swat away are actually hardworking helpers. The key is knowing who’s on your side and who’s causing problems.

Join us for this informative and engaging class with University of Idaho entomologist Samuel DeGray as we explore how to identify the key insects and arthropods in your garden, from stealthy predators to essential pollinators. You’ll learn how to encourage beneficial species, discourage the destructive ones, and create a balanced ecosystem where nature handles much of the pest control for you.

Presented by Samuel DeGray, Entomologist & University of Idaho Extension Educator. Samuel is the University of Idaho Agricultural Extension Educator in Boundary County/Bonners Ferry, Idaho. He supports horticulture, small farms, and agronomy, and coordinates the Master Gardener program in Boundary County. He holds a Master's degree in Entomology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
