| In anticipation of Halloween, we’re taking a moment to appreciate the weird and wonderful traits of invertebrates, like this parasitoid wasp, Megarhyssa atrata. They’ve inspired legends new and old around the world, in addition to being indispensable members of our wild and agricultural ecosystems.
We’re proud to play a role in the story of these animals. We hope you enjoy a look back at milestones we’ve achieved in the newly released annual report, below, thanks to your continued support. |

| Spooky Season: Weird and Wonderful Invertebrates
With millions of invertebrates on Earth – more than 97 percent of the world’s animal species – we’re never far from inspiration for spooky season at the Xerces Society.
This Halloween, we’ve shared staff favorites for wonderful, weird and even legendary invertebrates. Whether they skitter, dig, slurp or click, each of these incredible creatures plays an important role in our ecosystems. Perhaps they’ll even play a role in your last-minute costume ideas. (We can’t say we’ve never tried it.) Read More |

| Upcoming Events
Back by popular demand, residents of the Northeast can join Xerces’ Farming with Soil Life Short Course, offered online this November 9.
Then on November 10, We Need to Talk About Honey Bees. For many people, pollinator conservation is synonymous with the honey bee and beekeeping, but the story is bigger than that. Join Xerces’ Rich Hatfield for an honest conversation about the unseen consequences that a focus on honey bees can have, and how we can focus our actions in ways that will create positive change, for all pollinators.
