Have fun collecting insects and earn credits at the same time!
This course is an introduction to insect collecting, identification, and ecology. We will learn about the local insect fauna through numerous field trips and practice specimen inventory methods in the lab. Lectures will cover all major orders of insects and focus on various aspects of their ecology, behavior, and evolution. Throughout the term, students will collect specimens for the University research and teaching collections, and for their personal reference collection.
No prior experience is necessary. There are no prerequisites. This course fulfills the 9 credit laboratory requirement for Bio Majors.
