Wildlife Window Nature Series
Sponsored by the Friends of the Loveland Public Library.
Quaking Aspens and Ponderosa Pines, Elk, Golden Eagles and Yellow-bellied Marmots come quickly to mind when thinking about Colorado wildlife. Our wildlife community, however, includes various animals, fungi, and plants that exist in the shadows of our celebrity wildlife; and many of them lead extraordinary lives that make them quite interesting. Yes, animals eat plants; but amazingly, we also have six plants and some mushrooms that eat animals! We have wildflowers that trap their pollinators and some animals that hitchhike on other animals. This class will look at the lives of wildlife species that defy our sense of normal living
November 4: Beverage Plants, Weird Insects, and Deceptive Spiders
Some plants provide desirable beverages. A moth provides indispensable delivery service. Some ants make powerful venom and some make slaves of unrelated ants. Something has to eat that stuff. And one spider excels at hiding. These creatures might be neighbors!
If you have any questions, please contact the Adult Services Desk at the Library, 970-962-2402.
