Snowfleas, winter stoneflies, and snow scorpionflies are just some of the fascinating insects that manage to cope with the cold and snow of a western New York winter. This program, presented by Wayne Gall, Ph.D., Regional Entomologist with the New York State Department of Health, will be split between an illustrated discussion of the natural history of these hardy creatures and a display of preserved specimens. $3 per person; $10 maximum per family. Free for FOT members.
