Entomology is the study of insects. Because of their small size they often go unnoticed and even more frequently are considered as "vermin" or pests. Yet insects represent the richest group of living beings on our planet. Three quarters of all animal species on Earth are insects. We already know several million species and at least as many more are still unknown to us. Optimistic entomologists put this number at 30 million.
Insects, both in the past and nowadays, have attracted many people to study them, either professionally or as amateurs. The scientists and research associates in the Invertebrate Department of the Slovenian Museum of Natural History, are studying the taxonomy, faunistics, zoogeography, phylogeny, ecology, and bioacoustics of this admirable and so often surprising group.
