Our 2026 Spring camping trip to Osceola National Forest was full of bugs and fun! It is always a pleasure to see charismatic oak treehoppers and observe so many scorpions! We hope you all enjoyed spending the weekend out in nature and are ready to finish this semester strong. If you were not able to make it this year, we hope you will join us next time!

We host a camping trip every semester, so be on the look out! 🐛

Thank you for joining us as we start working on decorations and activities for BugFest! Your commitment and enthusiasm towards entomological education makes events like this possible!

We were excited to see so many new faces out at the sheet during our night collecting event. We hope that you were able to get some new insect orders or families for your collections and that, if you enjoyed seeing all the bugs, you will stop by again! :-)

That’s all for now! Stay tuned for more information on our upcoming events and BugFest through our Instagram or GroupMe!
