SUMMARY:Jo Harding ‘Taxonomists don’t stuff things’
DESCRIPTION:Jo\, Bush Blitz Manager\, will explain the who\, what and why of what Bush Blitz does – who are these weird people that are so fascinated with insect genitals? what is this information used for? and why do we care about these new species? \nAbstract \n	Bush Blitz is well known as a species discovery program\, but discovering new species is only part of the challenge. Explaining the who\, what and why is the other half of what Bush Blitz does – who are these weird people that are so fascinated with insect genitals? what is this information used for? and why do we care about these new species?
