Entomologist Dr. Art Evans and WCVE producer Steve Clark carry on with the previous week's conversation on the value of backyard bug surveys. Local lists may provide valuable information to scientists studying insect distributions and the effects of climate change, or reveal the first records of an invasive species. You never know what you will find until you start looking!
