Mission and Activities

The society fosters interest in entomology through outreach programs, educational events, and bi-annual meetings where members discuss recent developments in insect science[3][4]. These gatherings serve as forums for knowledge exchange on topics such as pollination, pest management, and insect biodiversity. The organization emphasizes the ecological and economic significance of insects, including their roles in agriculture, ecosystems, and scientific research[1][4].

Membership is open to individuals with diverse levels of expertise, from hobbyists to professionals. Activities are supported through member fees and collaborations with governmental and academic institutions. The society operates under a constitution outlining its governance framework, though specific leadership roles (e.g., treasurer) are held by volunteers in relevant professional fields[1][2].

Outreach and Impact

The society actively engages in public outreach to highlight insects' contributions to ecosystems, such as pollination, decomposition, and biological pest control. It connects members through online platforms and partnerships with organizations sharing similar scientific or conservation goals[1][4].
