WELCOME TO NATIONAL INSECT WEEK!

We'd like to thank everyone who took part in National Insect Week 2010 and all those who visited and supported the events.

The next National Insect Week will run in 2012, from 25 June to 1 July.

National Insect Week is designed to show your more about the insect world in all its fascinating diversity. Use this website to wow your friends and family with more amazing insect facts,
find out about events near you and see the results of our popular photography competition. Also, don't miss the NIW Blogsite!

Something we perhaps often forget here in the UK is that diversity isn’t just about wildlife in exotic locations. Get involved in National Insect Week and you’ll discover that insect diversity is just as relevant and fascinating to explore in your garden or local countryside as it is in the savannahs, deserts, wetlands and rainforests of the tropics.

National Insect Week is organised by the Royal Entomological Society and is supported by a large number of partner organisations concerned with many aspects of insect science, natural history and biodiversity.
