While Entomology Is Trending: A Legit List Of Bug Projects Worth Donating To/participating In.

While entomology is trending: a legit list of bug projects worth donating to/participating in.

Did not have "frozen bug man asking to borrow an outlet is a potentially fraudulent misogynist" on my entomology bingo card for this year, so trying to do something good with the fact that entomology is currently trending, here's a list of what SHOULD BE (I am no longer confident) good bug projects to donate to/participate in if you feel so inclined! Please also add good bug projects if you know any! Click the names of the institutions to find ways to donate.

The Frost Entomology Museum - Part of Penn State University, which has started up its public insect fair again this year! The museum has a "Hexapod Haiku Challenge," and I'm screaming.

The Lost Ladybug Project - Fair warning that the main webpage for it looks mildly sketch, but I can find it in multiple places that it's a real project of Cornell. It has a citizen science component where you can photograph specimens for them (no killing bugs)!

The Smithsonian Natural History Museum Department of Entomology

The Big Bug Hunt - An international project that appears to have the backing of multiple universities. It's a citizen science project to track the movements of bugs that are both detrimental and beneficial to crops. I am honestly not sure how this will affect the bugs though because the point is to protect home gardeners' crops from them.

University of California Riverside Department of Entomology

Cornell University Department of Entomology Giving Page - There's a tab at the right with three different projects of theirs: The Cornell University Insect Collection Fund, the Lost Ladybug Project Fund, and the Pollinator Health Research Fund

Michigan State University Department of Entomology - They have A BUNCH of named entomology funds you can donate to, or you can give them money that they can use flexibly.

Entomological Society of America

Bugs are my passion :( please dont let them go to waste!! Support if you can!!! -Billie 🪲

Can we boost this one until it reaches the Oklahoma City Tumblrites? This seems like something this website could rally and solve. Help save all this genetic information? I messaged them to offer to consult with the entymology lab near mine to see if they could store the bugs with us, but they are VERY far away and would have to drive long distance to us.

UPDATE: Based on people's stories in the comments, the guy behind the project is a misogynist wad who has burnt every bridge in the city, and that's why no one will help him. I understand everyone who does not want to help him, but I'm still not sure what to do about the bugs because I hate to give a dumpster fire of a science man a pass to get places in life without being made to character develop, but he also seems to be in charge of resources that if lost, would be a loss to an entire field and not just him. :/

People allowed to say the word tranny.

1. Every trans person as its a slur used against us

2. Tommyinnit because he posted about he got ball surgery and terfs immediately assumed he was getting bottom surgery and called him a tranny. I kid you not.
