Join us on Wednesday, July 17 at 2pm for our upcoming webinar, “Milkweed, Monarchs and OE in Florida: It’s Complicated” presented by Dr. Jaret Daniels, University of Florida associate professor of entomology and curator/director of the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity at the Florida Museum of Natural History.

The majestic Monarch butterfly (Danaus plexippus) has captivated the public’s interest. Yet there is much confusion about the best way to support these remarkable insects in Florida. In this informative webinar, Dr. Jaret Daniels, curator of the Florida Museum of Natural History’s McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity, will share the latest science-based information and will explain the impact of OE disease on Monarch populations. He will also provide practical advice on managing milkweed in the Florida landscape.

Dr. Jaret Daniels is a University of Florida associate professor of entomology and curator/director of the McGuire Center for Lepidoptera and Biodiversity at the Florida Museum of Natural History. His research focuses on insect ecology, population biology, and conservation, with particular emphasis on butterflies and other native pollinators.
