Placerita Nature Center had a guest speaker last Sunday to present a talk about venomous arthropods.

Brent Karner, also known to his friends as “the bug guy,” was formerly responsible for all of the living arthropods at the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History. Using kids, images and more, Brent talked about the differences between venomous and poisonous arthropods, as well as the amount of danger concerning each species.
