A delivery came across Sam Ingram’s desk Wednesday, his second day as the agriculture and natural resources agent in the University of Georgia Extension Service’s Effingham County office. A local exterminator came across a type of insect he hadn’t seen before, so he attached several of the bugs to a piece of adhesive tape and dropped it by the Extension office in Springfield. Using digital imaging, Ingram worked with Extension colleagues to identify the insect as a type of flying ant.
Feeling right at home
New Extension agent quickly welcomed in Effingham
