Entomology is the study of insects. Because of their small size they are often unnoticed and even more frequently they are considered as »vermin« or pests. Yet insects with all their species represent the richest group of living beings on our planet. Three quarters of all animal species on Earth are insects. We already know some million species and at least as many more are unknown to us. The optimistic entomologists assess this number at 30 million.
Insects in the past and still today attract many people to their study, either professionally or as amateurs. The scientific workers and research associates of Invertebrate Department in the Slovenian Museum of Natural History, are studying the taxonomy, faunistics, zoogeography, philogeny, ecology, and bioacoustics of this admirable group so full of surprises.
