Welcome
The Entomological Society of Queensland, since its inception in 1923, has promoted the development of pure and applied entomological research in Australia, particularly in Queensland. The Society promotes interaction and communication among entomologists through regular meetings with guest seminar speakers, a monthly News Bulletin, collecting trips and the publication of a quarterly journal, The Australian Entomologist. Membership in the Society is open to anyone interested in Entomology.
Meetings:
Meetings are usully held every second Tuesday of the month in the ground floor seminar rooms at Ecosciences Precinct in Dutton Park, Brisbane. Our guest speakers present on a variety of topics: some examples include hover fly systematics, hive beetle control, history of museum collections, plant volatiles and parasitoid interactions, honeybee navigation and robotics, insect evolutionary genomics, butterflies of Africa, eucalyptus borers, mosquito control and the importance of taxonomy.
We are now holding our meetings 'virtually' as well as live. Members will receive a meeting link via the news bulletin and an email so that people can view the meeting online if they prefer.
Our next meeting:
NOTICE: Due to Cyclone Alfred, our Annual General Meeting which was originally scheduled for Tuesday, 11 March has been tentatively rescheduled for Friday 21 March at 1pm. Members will be notified by email of any changes.
