Entomology 230, Entomophagous Insects, will be offered in the *fall quarter
of 2025*. 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

spectacular group of insects!
