A Way to Garden with Margaret Roach October 3, 2022 Charley Eiseman on Galls and Mines
b'
Since I took a walk with today\\u2019s guest about 10 years ago, I\\u2019ve adopted a whole different way of looking at what I might have once seen as imperfections in plants. Now when I spy a squiggle in a columbine leaf or what looks like a green Ping-Pong ball on an oak, instead of thinking \\u201cWhat\\u2019s wrong with my plant!\\u201d I instead think \\u201cI wonder who made that\\u2014and why?\\u201d\\xa0
\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n\\nCuriosity has replaced panic, thanks to naturalist Charley Eiseman, co-author of the field guide \\u201cTracks and Sign of Insects and Other Invertebrates,\\u201d who\\u2019s here today to decode some of nature\\u2019s beautiful little mysteries for us.
\\n\\n\\n\\nCharley Eiseman is a freelance naturalist, and when he\\u2019s not conducting biodiversity surveys for conservation groups and other clients, he devotes himself to learning more about the natural world\\u2014through an e-book he\\u2019s created on leafminers, and a North American leafminer project on iNaturalist.org he started that has some 50,000 sightings submitted, and more.
