The Bright Side

 

The Lake Geneva Public Library will be hosting an interesting event about native insects in Wisconsin.
Helping the Bugs: How to Provide Resources for Native Insects will be held on October 27, 2026, from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Wisconsin is home to thousands of native insects, which play important roles in the ecosystem. At the same time, concerns about global insect declines are growing.

In this talk, we’ll examine the challenges insects are facing and discuss ways to help native insects in our own yards and neighborhoods.  The event will be hosted by the Lodge on Highway 50. The speaker will be The Wisconsin Bug Guy: Patrick (PJ) Liesch—the Wisconsin Bug Guy—is the director of the UW-Madison Insect Diagnostic Lab. PJ holds degrees in biological sciences (B.S., UW-Parkside) and entomology (M.S., UW-Madison).
