EXPEDITIONENTOMOLOGYCONCEPT2.png

Expedition Entomology is a STEM certified project and the proud recipient of the Entomological Society of America's 2024 Science Communication Award and the 2025 Best in STEM award.

Expedition Entomology is not an "eco"tour, it’s a hands-on research initiative driving real entomological discovery and conservation. Each expedition directly supports and sustains long-term scientific projects by collecting critical insect biodiversity data in remote, under-studied ecosystems. With us, you don't just observe nature, you interact with it!  You're part of a real research team and named on any future publications of the meaningful ecological work we conduct together that informs conservation strategies worldwide. By opening the scientific process to all, we’re not only advancing insect research, we’re building a global culture of entomological appreciation, one that recognizes insects as essential players in healthy ecosystems and champions their role in environmental action, research and conservation.

So join one of our next expeditions - details below!
