ABOUT THE ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY OF VICTORIA INC.


The Entomological Society of Victoria is a non-profit Scientific Society which welcomes professional, amateur and student entomologists as members. The Society's Interests lie primarily in Entomology - the study of Insects, however many members are also interested in other groups e.g. spiders and the Society sees itself as having a role in promoting general interest in Invertebrates. The Society produces a bi-monthly news bulletin, the Victorian Entomologist.

A summary of the Society's aims are:

(a) to stimulate the scientific study and discussion of all aspects of entomology.
(b) to gather, disseminate and record knowledge of all identifiable Australian insect species,
(c) to compile a comprehensive list of all Victorian insect species,
(d) to bring together in a congenial but scientific atmosphere all persons interested in entomology.
