Insectapalooza 2024

• Saturday, October 19, 2024, 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

This year's event will be held at Cornell University's Stocking Hall (Food Science Building).  

The annual, one-day insect fair is hosted by the Department of Entomology at Cornell University. Insectapalooza is an interactive, hands-on experience that features hundreds of live insects, spiders, and other fascinating arthropods. Popular favorites include the live Butterfly Room and Arthropod Zoo and live specimens.  Exhibits explore the extraordinary Cornell University Insect Collection, pollination, plant-insect interactions, biodiversity of ants, bees, and soil insects, and how bugs work.  

Learn how to combat arthropod pests like the spotted lantern fly, ticks, and mosquitos.  

New this year, there are short workshops on careers in entomology, beekeeping, pollinator gardens, and reducing the impacts of lantern flies and ticks. Numerous kid-friendly crafts. And much, much more.

Insectapalooza is fun and educational for children, teens, and adults of all ages. The annual Insect Fair reflects the countless wonderful ways that insects interact with people and impact our lives -- for better or for worse.
