🚨 Research Alert – We Need Your Help! 🚨
Have you seen an insect that looks like this?
Researchers at UWI are trying to confirm whether this species is still present in Jamaica 🇯🇲
They are mostly active at night and attracted to lights.

And, coming up next week, on February 27, tune in for an ESA webinar, co-hosted with the International Association of Black Entomologists, "IABE Voices: Reputability, Research, and Resilience," at noon ET. www.entsoc.org/events/webin...
A man wearing glasses and a maroon shirt is smiling at the camera while standing outdoors in front of green leafy plants.
A woman with long wavy black hair smiles at the camera. She is wearing a beige satin blouse, hoop earrings, and a necklace with a clover-shaped pendant. The background is a textured dark gray.
In September, James T. Brown, Ph.D., of the University of California, Berkeley, and Fhallon Ware-Gilmore, Ph.D., of the Puerto Rico Vector Control Unit were among five entomologists named to the 2025 class of ESA Science Policy Fellows. www.entsoc.org/advocacy/sci...
On a yellow background with a wing-vein texture at left and a partial image of a moth at right, white text reads "ESA Celebrates Black History Month." The ESA logo also appears in white in the lower right corner over the moth.
During #BlackHistoryMonth, ESA is proud to honor the work and contributions of Black entomologists to insect science. #EntoDEI
