TO JOIN THIS GROUP, SEND AN EMAIL REQUEST WITH YOUR DETAILS TO ENTOINSTITUTE.ORG.

The National Institute of Entomology is pleased to provide this extensive forum for the discussion of all aspects of Invertebrate biology by taxonomists, biologists, teachers and students. The structure of the various categories in the 'TAXONOMIC GROUPS' Section follows a standard taxonomic theme to help users navigate to their area of interest.

New users wanting to become members of these extensive forums may send a membership request by emailing the institute.

If users have any suggestions for improvement, please feel free to post your comments for any changes we can make in order to assist your needs. Although this group is mainly tailored to the more advanced user, students and members of the general public with an interest in any Invertebrates are encouraged to contribute to this group since many of them have gained a great deal of experience and knowledge in breeding and maintaining many species in captivity.

Please be aware that this is a moderated service and any inappropriate use by any registered user will result in an immediate and permanent ban.
