National Insect Week

National Insect Week takes place in the last week of June each year, celebrating the fascinating world of insects and their essential role in our ecosystems.

National Insect Week was established to promote awareness and understanding of insects, which make up more than half of all known living organisms. Organised by the Royal Entomological Society, this week-long event highlights the importance of insects in pollination, decomposition, and as a vital part of the food chain. It aims to inspire people of all ages to appreciate these tiny but mighty creatures and to take action in preserving their habitats.
