Adopt an Insect: Support Discovery & Insect Appreciation!
Become an Insect Ally and Help Us Uncover the Hidden Stories of the Tiny Creatures That Keep the Planet Alive.
Every day, insects quietly pollinate our planet, break down waste, build ecosystems, and spark some of the most mind-blowing adaptations on Earth. And yet, scientists estimate that 90% of insect species are still waiting to be discovered. At the Global Entomology Coalition (GEC), we’re not here to control insects. We’re here to discover them, protect them, and share their incredible stories.
​
And YOU can be part of that mission.

You’re Not Just Adopting an Insect, You’re Fueling Exploration
While many organizations focus on controlling or managing insects, we focus on discovery, curiosity, and connection. Your adoption doesn’t just support an individual species, it supports the global search for life most people never get to see.
Let’s explore it together!
