Entomology Tour --- exhibit on March 26th

Insects, as small as they are, might be ignored by many people. However, giving their enormous number, far outweighing the population size of human beings, insects have tremendous impacts on our livings. Why are some of their normal activities beneficial to us, while others cause tremendous problems to our welfare? The Virginia Tech Department of Entomology is proud of providing extension services to the community. Our graduate students, working on various aspects of entomology, will be very delightedly to share with the kids their knowledge and their experiences working with insects. In addition, we will exhibit specimens of various insect species, and will also have hands-on activities with live insects available for the kids.
