The When, Where, Why, and How of Vermont’s Bugs

June 29, 2022

Summer is a hot time of year for Vermont's critters, especially the creepy, crawly kinds. And while bugs are great — they pollinate vegetation; decompose dead plants and animals; and fuel the food chain — they can also threaten human health and wellbeing. Here's what you need to know to protect … Read more
