PASSION FOR PARASITES?

Entomology 230, Entomophagous Insects, will be offered in the fall quarter of 2021. The course focuses on the biology and identification of insect parasitoids. This is a 4 credit laboratory/lecture course. Lectures and laboratories are devoted to parasitoid biology and the collection and identification of parasitoids. This is your big chance to learn about kamikazi chalcids that jump to certain death into the jaws of their antlion host! 

The course involves 3-4 weekend (day-long) field trips in southern California to collect hosts and parasitoids, rearing of parasitoids, developing a professionally curated collection of insects, learning to sight identify common parasitoids, and exploration of the universe of a spectacular group of insects!

Prerequisites are Entomology 100, Entomology 107 or an equivalent course. 

Undergraduates may take the course if they have had ENTM107 or ENTM109, with permission of the instructor.

The course is recommended for students interested in Biological Control, Pest Management, Systematics, southern California habitat exploration. or entomology in general.
