Our mission is to inspire worldwide environmental stewardship by fostering a cultural shift in the perception of insects through research, education, and conservation.
By developing collaboration across borders, opening research to the public, and expanding our understanding of insects and their roles through exciting educational experiences, we can accelerate entomological knowledge and open the door to safeguarding our planet’s most vital stewards.

This is not an "eco"-tour - Expedition Entomology is a STEM accredited project, and recipient of the Entomological Society of America's Science Communication Award and the 2025 Best in STEM Award. This is true exploration where luxury takes a back seat to raw discovery. Where participants join our research team in the field to create and execute important entomological biodiversity research and conservation projects.
​
Our expeditions are open to everyone, regardless of academic background, but they are only for the most adventurous travelers, so prepare to get your hands dirty!

At the core of the GEC’s objectives is species discovery and the promotion of research that addresses critical issues related to insect & spider biodiversity, ecology, behavior, and physiology - not pest control.
"Like the resource it seeks to protect, wildlife conservation must be dynamic, changing as conditions change, seeking always to become more effective."
- Rachel Carson, excerpt from Silent Spring
