<span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I am excited to announce that the City of Riverside, along with UCR’s Entomology Department, has decided to hold a virtual Riverside Insect Fair this year, in lieu of the usual in-person event!
The event will take place over the week of <b>April 12<sup>th</sup> – 16<sup>th</sup>, 2021</b>. If your research includes any aspect of entomology, we would be very excited for you to participate! We are looking for participants at every level to assist in
putting together pre-recorded videos and/or participate in live-streamed activities during the event. Additionally, in lieu of the extremely popular touch-a-bug booth, we are looking for videos and images of as many insects as possible (either in the field
or the lab) to showcase insect diversity. If you are interested in participating or have anything to contribute,
