Bugs aren't all bad — that's the point of a presentation Tuesday at the Crestview Public Library.
“Bugs & Butterflies” is scheduled for 10:30 a.m., Tuesday, Sept. 2. Sheila Dunning, horticultural agent for the University of Florida's Okaloosa County Extension Service, will be the First Tuesday series' guest speaker. She will talk about helpful bugs and harmless butterflies, and how to keep them in the landscape.
"People benefit in so many ways by sharing the world with the insects that can be found in almost every conceivable habitat," an event spokesperson stated in a news release. "Insects are everywhere and, by far, (are) the most common animal on the planet with more than 1.5 million species named. Their size, shape, color, biology and life history are so diverse and fascinating.
"Unfortunately, most people are more aware of the few insects that cause problems than they are of the many beneficial insects."
Coffee and cookies will be served starting at 10 a.m. The library is located at 1445 Commerce Drive in north Crestview behind the post office.
Call 682-4432 for more details.
