Last week me and @BugManBrett visited Madison Station Elementary to talk about #insects in #agriculture with seven wonderful kindergarten classes. The students loved looking at all of the insects! @MSU_AG #EntoDawgs

Highly recommendable to the students staying in Starkville this summer. Insect rearing is one of good entry points to the study of insect.

I love dragon flys, great predators. I see this a lot though and the dragon flys are no match for the Robber flys.
