Join us for one of our largest and most well-known festivals, Insectival! Participants will meet and interact with a variety of entomological experts and their buggy friends.

Insectival is sponsored by the State Botanical Garden of Georgia, the UGA Lund Club, the UGA Department of Entomology and the Georgia Museum of Natural History.
