The VT Entomology Department will be at the March 20th KTU!

Arthropod Encounters
W.B. Alwood Society, Virginia Tech Entomology Department

Hosted by the W.B. Alwood Society, Arthropod Encounters introduces visitors to the wonders of insects and other arthropods. Interact with live specimens such as Madascar hissing cockroaches and giant millipedes; view an array of preserved insects collected from the U.S. and other parts of the world; and use microscopes to see insect structures up close and personal!

The W.B. Alwood Society is the Virginia Tech Entomology Department's student organization.
One of the primary objectives of the Society is to stimulate interest in and increase knowledge of entomology and its related disciplines. Society members lead tours of the Virginia Tech Entomology Department and participate in community education fairs such as this one. Though the Society is comprised mainly of Entomology Department graduate students, membership is open to any Virginia Tech student with an interest in entomology and who desires to participate in the Society and its outreach programs.
