Japanese Beetle Big Game Hunt

You’ve seen the TV shows about big game hunting. The hunter quietly
sneaks up on his prey while whispering into his microphone about the
process. Walter goes on a "big game" hunt is his own back yard. The
"prey"? Japanese beetles!

aren't "Yankee plants".

Common Georgia Spiders

Better skip this segment if you suffer from arachnophobia! Lisa Ames,
University of Georgia entomologist, LOVES spiders. She shows Walter
several common ones that are completely harmless.... plus a poisonous
one that is often mis-identified... plus one that we think of as a
spider but isn't a spider at all. Come back from behind the sofa and
learn more about these eight-legged creatures.

be a very invasive vine... climbing trees and smothering lower plants.
And it CAN be controlled! Walter shows how to easily control ivy with
pruners and with herbicide.
