Let's get down to BUGness !

What’s the BUG deal?

Invasive Insect Awareness

It is our mission to educate people of all ages about our ecosystem in Mississippi and how some insects can hurt what we have. Invasive insects such as the Red Imported Fire Ant, Spotted Lanternfly, and Emerald Ash Borer, impact our native ecosystems and cause problems for everyone around!

Love for Museums

The Mississippi Entomological Museum is a fantastic resource not only for researchers in the Southeast United States, but for everyone that has curiosity about our six-legged friends that are all around us! We assist in giving tours of the museum to anyone interested, just email our Outreach Coordinator, Shelby!

Conservation Education

You must take the good with the bad, and we take that very seriously! We believe that it is just as important to educate about our native critters that don’t cause us any harm, to balance out our talks about invasive or pest insects.
