Show off your favorite insect finds at the 4-H Entomology Insect Collection at the North Carolina State Fair! The registration deadline is September 15th and your insect collections are due at the State Fair by Monday, October 11th.
How should you get started?
Go explore! Observe insects around your neighborhood, local park, garden, or forest.
Be sure to ask permission to collect and then capture your six-legged specimens. Collect only one (or two, male and female) of each species for closer study in your collection.
Pin your insects properly using entomology pins (you can find these at science stores like carolina biological or
bioquip)
Be sure to correctly identify your insect and include a label with identifying information and location where you caught it. Family and friends can
help you collect too!
Register for the state fair by September 15th and bring your collection to the fair by Oct 11th, 2021.
