Below are some upcoming events - one is this weekend(Saturday) at Greenberg Headwaters Park in Bennington. Rarely do we get to that part of Southern VT - I hope a few folks can join us.

Also as has been a tradition we will have a table at the Adamant Blackfly Festival - join us or stop by - for a fun time. -

Can anyone chip in and help me answer some questions recently presented to me by a middle school student:

What degrees do you need to be a professional entomologist?

What things do entomologists do on a regular workday?

What things can a middle schooler do to learn about entomology?

Thank you,

Michael Sabourin
