Happy Spring Everyone! We have been very busy in the entomology department so far in 2024. It is hard to believe half the year is already behind us.
First, I would like to say congratulations to all our students who participated in professional society meeting competitions along with those who won awards recently. You all represent UGA entomology very well and we are proud of you and your research.
