EXPEDITION ENTOMOLOGY

Expedition Entomology is the proud recipient of the Entomological Society of America's 2024 Science Communication Award!

What is Expedition Entomology?

We are dedicated to advancing ecological research and conservation, and believe that using entomological data as the base measure for environmental research is like checking the pulse of our global ecosystems.

Our expeditions contribute critical invertebrate ecosystem dynamics and populations to ongoing ecological studies while launching new, innovative research projects focused on insect discovery and biodiversity in remote, often unexplored regions, and we're dedicated to getting everyone involved in the scientific process, regardless of academic background. So as a participant of Expedition Entomology, you become a member of a unique research team that actively helps collect crucial data that informs environmental action and advances our understanding of insect ecosystems.

Fieldwork with Expedition Entomology is as exciting as it is impactful. Whether you’re trekking the migratory rainforests of Panama at night to find insects with UV flashlights, sweep netting the savannahs of Africa, or exploring the rivers and waterfalls of Thailand to survey benthic macroinvertebrates, immersion in the wilderness is a guarantee with an experience is not only rewarding, but provides us a new avenue of pioneering adventure and discovery.

Together, our team will tackle scientific questions in real-time while enjoying the thrill of outdoor exploration in some of the world's most biodiverse habitats, many of which are virtually untouched by humans and tourism.

By bridging the gap between tourism, science and the general public; Expedition Entomology empowers participants to contribute to groundbreaking projects while having a blast in the field, helping to expand global knowledge on insect biodiversity and its role in sustaining healthy ecosystems.
