Maine Entomological Society

People have dependably been occupied with bugs for some reason; old societies have inspected, cultivated and even adored them. Antiquated Egyptians adored substantial types of compost creepy crawly or Scarab, that would assemble bundles of waste and cover them. The female would lay eggs on the waste, and afterward weeks or months after the fact, new bugs would rise up out of the ground - apparently reawakened from nothing and along these lines speaking to the restoration of life.

The twentieth and 21st centuries prompted the more revelations of creepy crawly species, and how they live and replicate than at any other time. Presently we can visit exceptionally remote regions significantly more effectively than we could before - new species turn up each day. We have likewise found that the investigation of creepy crawlies has utilized outside of entomology.

The motivations behind the Maine Entomological Society:

a) To advance a gathering for talk, participation and cooperation among novices and experts in entomology, who either dwell in Maine or have interests in Maine bugs or earthbound arthropods; and

b) To empower the dynamic investigation of all parts of Maine creepy crawlies and earthly arthropods, and to advance instructive exercises in Maine bugs and earthbound arthropods all through the state.

The Maine Entomological Society was set up by a gathering of creepy crawly and 8-legged creature lovers in 1997, and now has an aggregate participation of around 110 people and gatherings. The Maine Entomologist, our quarterly pamphlet, typically comprises of 6-8 pages of Society news and entomological data. The yearly meeting is held every fall, and we, for the most part, have a mid-winter workshop. The Society consistently co-supports a yearly Entomological Bio-Blitz at the Schoodic Education and Research Center at Acadia National Park every late spring, in a joint effort with the National Park Service. Extra social gatherings and gathering outings are planned month to month when conceivable amid the late spring, summer, and early fall.
