Terry Carr will give an illustrated presentation on butterflies and some other bugs found in Delta. While some bugs destroy crops and spread disease, others pollinate flowers and food crops. Bugs provide food for other animals, help control plant and animal populations, and break down dead things. Factors such as climate change, habitat loss and insecticides are causing Earth to lose 1-2% of its insects each year.
Terry Carr obtained a Biology degree at UBC. After travelling extensively in Europe and the Middle East, he returned to UBC to study Ancient History and then Librarianship. Now retired, heworked for 32 years at the Vancouver Public Library, holding several positions including Reference Librarian, Head of the Science Division, and Public Service Manager.
