The Royal Entomological Society would like to thank everyone for helping to make National Insect Week 2008 such a resounding success.

The next National Insect Week will take place in 2010, and in the meantime we hope that you will continue to use this website to learn more about the most fascinating creatures on our planet.

We are delighted to announce the arrival of the results of the Close Encounters Competition and the winning and commended entries in the 2008 Photography Competition (complete with a stunning new slideshow format). Take a look!
