Museum zoology expert Dr. Ainsley Seago lectures on a little-known aspect of Yellowstone National Park.
Established in 1872, Yellowstone was first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park spans parts of Wyoming, Montana and Idaho.
Yellowstone is visited annually by millions of sightseers from around the world, who are thrilled by the prospect of glimpsing bison herds, grizzly bears, elk, and other majestic wild creatures. However, the most spectacular wildlife may be the overlooked creatures at their feet. Ten incredible insect species from Yellowstone National Park will be examined and what ecological and evolutionary tricks they use to survive in a truly challenging wild landscape will be discussed.
Presented as part of the Carnegie Discoverers program.
