That little sting on your arm on a warm, summer evening could have been made by just one of the 50 species of mosquitoes that live in Wisconsin. Discover more about these tiny, tenacious insects at a free lecture offered by the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
“The Intriguing Life Histories of Mosquitoes of Portage County” will be held at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 13, presented by Jamee Hubbard, associate professor of biology. Held in the Pinery Room of the Portage Country Public Library, 1001 Main St., Stevens Point, this is the third talk in the nine-part College of Letters and Science 2015-2016 Community Lecture Series. The public may attend free of charge.
“This talk will discuss the interesting and diverse lives of these bloodsuckers and introduce you to some of the many fascinating species we find in Portage County,” said Hubbard.
Hubbard received her undergraduate degree in biology from Central Missouri State University, master’s degree in entomology from Auburn University and doctorate in entomology from the University of Kentucky. Her research interest is insect biology and includes such topics as life history, ecology and pest importance of a variety of organisms, from insects in wooded and urban landscapes to insects of medical and veterinary importance. She teaches introduction to animal biology and general entomology.
