We are proud to announce the beginning of another season of meetings of the Entomology Section. Our main goal is to encourage participation in the study of the insect world around us. This is accomplished through field trips, educational programs, sharing experiences, insect collecting, and photography. Meetings are usually field trips on the third Saturday of every month. If you are interested in knowing more about the group, please feel free to join us at one of our meetings.
