[Pollinator] Wings of Life WEBINAR

[Kimberley Fellows]

Hello,

I've been looking into showing Wings of Life at a local repertory theatre,
for Pollinator Week (June 17th-23rd), and the P.R. person, Michael, asked
me to share this link to a webinar that is happening on Sunday, April 21,
2013 from 8:30 AM to 9:30 AM (PDT) -- sweet, that means it's happening at
11:30 a.m. my time (Eastern Daylight)!

It will be featuring TWO fabulous pollinator personnel: Victoria Wojick and
Chip Taylor!

Here's the link: http://wingsoflifewebinar.eventbrite.com   (scroll further
down the page for details).

Best regards,
KiM*

* Yes, you're right ... the film uses the word 'proboscis' incorrectly, for
a moth's proboscis refers to their feeding tube, and would be more
accurately described as a tongue. In contrast, proboscis usually refers to
a nose in the vertebrate world (animals with a backbone). A majority
of pollinators
inadvertently spread flower pollen simply as they feed on pollen and nectar for
their own nutritional needs. Do not be confused -- in this film clip
featuring this particular orchid pollination, it is still plant pollen that
is involved in pollination -- you can learn more about this wondrous,
unusual strategy in Michael Pollan's musings Love and
Lies<http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/print/2009/09/orchids/pollan-text>
