PJ Liesch, Extension Entomologist and director of the Insect Diagnostic Lab of the Department of Entomology will update us on the state of insects in Wisconsin. The pandemic has changed human behavior—especially when and where we spend time outdoors and indoors—and I’m looking forward to hearing how that angle may be changing the range of critters PJ is seeing in the Diagnostic Lab.
