Folks are looking forward to the next open house at the Bohart Museum of Entomology at UC Davis. It's set Saturday, Sept. 28 from 1 to 4 p.m. and the theme is "Museum ABC's: Arthopods, Bohart and Collecting." It's free and family friendly. Parking is also free.
Talk about flower power. When you walk through the UC Davis Bee Haven, a half-acre garden on Bee Biology Road, west of the central campus, you'll see bees and other pollinators foraging on a pink floribunda rose cultivar, Nearly Wild.
This time of year we're thinking of noted cotton entomologist Thomas Frances Leigh (1923-1993) an international authority on the biology, ecology and management of arthropod pests affecting cotton production.
