Join a worldwide quest to track down the insect life shaping our planet. Your photos help uncover new discoveries and link you with fellow adventurers and backyard warriors determined to explore what few ever notice.
Our mission is to inspire worldwide environmental stewardship by fostering a cultural shift in the perception of insects through research, education, and conservation.
By developing collaboration across borders, opening research to the public, and expanding our understanding of insects and their roles through exciting educational experiences, we can accelerate entomological knowledge and open the door to safeguarding our planet’s most vital stewards.

"Like the resource it seeks to protect, wildlife conservation must be dynamic, changing as conditions change, seeking always to become more effective."
