LECTURES

Learn about Ants.

Ant Expertise for different audiences.

Hi!

I’m the “Ant Lady”! For me ants are not just a subject area I’ve done extensive scientific research on but also my love and passion.

I offer workshops and lecture talks for Pest Management officials, Park Rangers, Forestry officials& Nature Educators, Garden Ethusiasts & Nature Lovers and for Teacher Training.

The list of topics can be found here. In addition, I can create customized workshops for a specific audience or talks for special events.

I’m looking forward to sharing my experience and exploring the world of ants together!

Enjoy,
