REVIEWS
I just completed the Introduction to Entomology course with the Institute of Entomology and absolutely loved it!
The teacher was incredibly knowledgeable and I learnt so much including insect evolution and physiology to collecting and pinning my own specimens!
I highly recommend this course for anyone with an interest in insects, it was really well run and I got a lot of knowledge out of it!
