When it comes to the leaf beetles of Victoria: to know them is to love them.

Martin Lagerwey is a citizen scientist who has studied leaf beetles across Australia for the last five years.  Martin has agreed to come to the Bond Street Event Centre on the 13th of May to help us to discover and learn about the main species of beetles likely to be encountered in Victoria.

Leaf beetles are attractive and colourful insects and feed mainly on the leaves of Eucalyptus and Acacia. They are occasional pests to the timber industry, especially in Tasmania and are sometimes used for biological control of introduced weeds.  

Martin’s talk will be a must for anyone interested in insects and the natural environment.

The presentation is free and will begin promptly at 7:00pm and finish no later than 9:00 pm.

 Seats are limited, so if you would like to attend this presentation please ring David on 0351828770 or send an email to bondstreeteventcentre@optusnet.com.au
