Entomologist and researcher Dr. Curt Harden will give an overview of the surprising diversity of ground beetles hidden in shallow subterranean habitats in Appalachia.
Studying this fauna requires specialized techniques both to collect and study the beetles, due to their cryptic habitats and small size. Dr. Harden will share how his personal journey to acquire and refine these techniques has entwined with his professional journey and the discoveries made along the way.
The series is named in honor of Pittsburgh pediatrician Richard Moriarty (pictured), who conceived the famous “Mr. Yuk” sticker to warn young children to avoid poisonous substances.
