Recently, faculty, graduate students, and undergraduate students from OSU’s Entomology, ESGP, and EEOB programs attended the Entomological Society of America Annual Meeting 2025.

This conference is the largest entomology meeting in the U.S. and one of the most influential insect science gatherings worldwide!

Our students presented their research, connected with others in the field, and had meaningful discussions about their work.

We’re also proud to share that twelve of our students received awards for their outstanding research ❤️‍🔥

Congratulations to all of our award winners and everyone who represented the Ohio State University so well at ESA 2025! 🎉

Every fall, our Entomology Graduate Student Association hosts an Insect Film Fest in Columbus, Ohio! 🎬🐞

This year, we screened two FREE movies at Studio35 Cinema & Drafthouse: James and the Giant Peach and Guillermo del Toro’s Mimic. We feature different films every year!

Before and between screenings, guests enjoyed insect-themed activities; arts and crafts, temporary tattoos, raffles and prizes, and the BugMobile, OSU’s mobile insect lab parked right outside the theater.

Thanks to the support of our members and the excitement from our community, this year’s Insect Film Fest was a huge success ❤️
