Entomologists in the making!

Really fantastic day, yet again, at the Amateur Entomologists' Society's Bug Club  www.amentsoc.org/bug-club/ Young Entomologists' Day hosted by the Oxford University Natural History Museum www.oum.ox.ac.uk/ . Thirteen children took part from 7 to 14 years old and presented a series of extremely interesting talks on invertebrates. The topics varied from Ladybirds to Cockroaches and from Glow Worms to Tarantulas. It was truly inspiring to see these children individually take their place at the front of a packed lecture theatre and talk confidently about their chosen subject. After each talk the child then fielded a selection of questions posed by members of the audience. Their scope of knowledge on their chosen subjects was exceptional. I was impressed by the level of work, both research and ICT skills, these children had put into their presentations and they all deserve an upstanding ovation! A very BIG well done to all of you!


An impressive group of brilliant young people, all of whom deserve admiration for their presentations.
