Interesting Science Presentation On Damselflies Thursday At MCC

What is a damselfly? It is a dainty appearing insect with a long needle-like body and delicate appearing wings.

To really learn about these amazing creatures of nature, McHenry County College biology instructor Marla Garrison will present a talk on the work she has completed during the past five years—studying and cataloging the Damselfly population of northeastern Illinois. The title of Marla's presentation will be "Damselflies of Chicagoland."

This event is taking place Thursday, September 30 at 5:00 p.m. in Room A119 of the McHenry County College. The
Future Engineers and Scientists Society (FESS) at MCC is sponsoring the event.

Garrison, in collaboration with the Field museum of Chicago, has recently published her local area field guide which had detailed accounts of 39 species found in our region along with nine other potential species. This is the firs tin a series of natural history guides that Garrison indents to write on regional fauna.
