A celebration of all things insect
Organised by the Royal Entomological Society, and supported by partner organisations throughout the UK and Europe, Insect Week is a celebration of all things insect.
Wherever you live, it’s an opportunity to take part in insect science, get to know insects, learn from experts, and have fun.
The next Insect Week is 19 to 25 June 2023.
Did you know?
Craftiest
Some moths evade bat echolocation by falling fast, ‘shouting’ back, sound warnings of poison and mimicking each other.
Most undervalued insect in the UK
Dung beetles and dung flies, without them we’d be up to our necks in you know what in next to no time.
Ommatidia
Dragonfly compound eyes are made of up to 30,000 separate facets or ‘ommatidia’.
