…it was really good to see other people down at the hall because of

insects

…I wouldn’t have thought that could happen… people are really thinking about insects now. (ES01a)

That’s something that came out of your talk…you kept emphasising all those good beetles. People have always discounted that fact…So, you got all those good

and so to get more biodiversity on farms is a good thing. (ES04)

Oh yeah, more educated. Certainly more interested in what’s crawling around and you’re looking at crops and the

on the crops. You think is that a good or a bad bug. You educated me and that is a good thing. (ES04)

It was very interesting about the

bugs

and how they can be beneficial to pasture. (ES03)

We always thought that every time we see a bug we have to get rid of it. It was really interesting that there are

that can do the job of spraying. (ES03)

I certainly liked the calendar but…next time if we had photos of what

we have in our area and that way we can identify them. (ES02)

There’s a feel good factor (to restoring native vegetation) and now some science to back that up. And you showed us some

and spiders that we didn’t know existed. (ES01a)

…it’s certainly good to see the

in the regenerated areas…So, at least, they got a haven. (ES02)

I think you just have more wildlife around. Hopefully more

beneficial

wildlife…that came out of your talk the other night. (ES04)
