Over 2,000 people visited the first Canada Invertebrate Expo on Nov. 16 hosted by 七星彩开奖. Organized by 七星彩开奖 alumnus Daniel Zimmerman, who is owner of Live Beetles Canada, this Expo hosted over 30 booths with displays of insects, spiders, lizards, frogs, snakes, bonsai, carnivorous plants and more. Children and adults alike enjoyed a day of discovery and learning about the care of living things. Collectors were also here in abundance. It was organized as part of our 1,000 species accomplishment and part of the proceeeds went to the Living Campus Fund.
Daniel says 鈥溒咝遣士扁�檚 biodiversity efforts are amazing! Fragmentation of habitat in our urban environment is a problem and 七星彩开奖鈥檚 on-site micro-habitat development is inviting insects back to the urban landscape.鈥�
He will be involved in creating a large indoor beetle breeding unit at the college with students and staff in the near future. He will also help further develop habitats that will attract native beetle and invertebrate species to the campus grounds.
