The Backyard Chorus
Tuesday, March 10 @ 2pm
Saluda Library
Learn about the most common singing insects, with special reference to those in NC, and discuss the function and mechanisms of sound production for crickets, katydids, and cicadas. We will share species-specific songs that help you identify them and learn how the chorus in your backyard changes during the year.
Presenter Tim Forrest is an Emeritus Professor of Biology at UNC-Asheville and has been studying and teaching about insect biology and behavior for over 40 years.
Register for the program here. The Saluda Library Speaker Series is held on the 2nd Tuesday of the month at 44 West Main Street, Saluda, NC. This program series is made possible thanks to Polk County Public Libraries’ partnership with Conserving Carolina.
