Royal Entomological Society

Find out about careers, courses and jobs linked to insects, and hear from people working in the field. Explore interactive activities and demonstrations, join a live Q&A with people in animal-related roles, and speak to experts from research organisations, charities and universities across the UK.

A free online talk uses high-speed imaging to uncover insect flight movements too fast or small for the human eye, from wingbeats and airflow to the tiny structures controlling each beat.

Explore 25 years of insect conservation on Costa Rica’s Osa Peninsula, including a natural history museum, rainforest reserves and monitoring with camera traps and bioacoustics. Hear field entomologist Jim Córdoba-Alfaro’s lecture, then take an optional tour of the Society’s library and headquarters.

Submit up to three insect photos through an online form for a chance to win cash prizes. Browse photography tips and a gallery of previous entries for inspiration before sharing images of real-world insects.
