Park (for free after 6:30 pm) and walk to the main museum entrance on Jones Street, just to the right of the giant globe. Since the Museum is closed at night, someone will be at the door ONLY from 7 to 7:45 to let you in, so please be on time. Take the elevator to the fourth floor meeting room. (The east-facing entrance to the "old wing" of the museum will not be used.) If you feel unwell, please stay home and enjoy our presentation over Zoom.

Topic: In this presentation, Matt Bertone will discuss the various arthropods (insects, spiders, etc.) that live with us in our homes, either as accidental temporary guests, or as long-term roommates.

Speaker: Dr. Matt Bertone is an entomologist who specializes in arthropod biodiversity, taxonomy, and systematics. He is the diagnostic entomologist and director of the NC State Plant Disease and Insect Clinic at North Carolina State University, where he identifies arthropods for clients and trains extension personnel on insect identification. Matt is also an avid macro photographer, taking images for both professional purposes and for pleasure.
