Branch of zoology dealing with the scientific study of insects, including their taxonomy, morphology, physiology, and ecology.

This section contains a photographic database of UK and European insects. entomology showcases the fascinating world of insects through photography and observations. Each post typically features close-up images capturing the colors, structures, and behaviors of various species, bees, beetles, butterflies, flies, and notes on their habitats, life cycles, and ecological roles. This blends scientific insight with visual images, aiming to deepen appreciation for insect diversity and their importance in ecosystems. It serves both as an educational resource and an exploration of the hidden beauty of the insect world.

As you explore the various pages an image gallery at the top of each page, will give you additional photographs of species with the specific taxon.
