Celebrating Entomology with Children!

The Amateur Entomological Society's (AES) Bug Club is a great club for bug mad children between 5 and 17 years old. Extremely reasonably price at a annual subscription of £12.00 per child. www.amentsoc.org/bugclub/ The Bug Club organizes loads of events throughout the year and they are all well attended. Its a great way to help your child meet like minded friends and build their confidence with lots of opportunities to produce exhibits, give talks and have articles published. The children are always delighted to see their work published in a magazine and you get to keep it forever (after showing the grandparents)! Amongst all the events on offer there is also the chance to go away on field trips. These are very exciting trips for the children as they include going out at night to check traps and see moths, pond dipping and pinning workshops. Expert and well known entomologists are a constant presence as are other suitably qualified and CRB checked adults. The knowledge and encouragement these children receive is exceptional. It is the sort of experience that will stay with them for life and they might even make life long friends!
