Because there are so many insects, they impact our daily lives in both good and bad ways. In this 4-H project you will learn about entomology \u2013 the study of insects. You will learn about the insect world by studying, collecting and identifying various insects. Discover how helpful and harmful insects live, multiply, and affect humans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-family: book antiqua,palatino,serif;\">This project is easy to afford because insects are free or inexpensive at pet stores or scientific supply houses. Because of their size, insects can be easily housed in small containers for observation. Learn how to identify, classify, collect and preserve insects and other arthropods.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"contests\" class=\"tab-content entry-content current\">\n<p><span style=\"font-family: book antiqua,palatino,serif;\">Some counties and districts host an entomology contest, so check with your local county extension office to learn more about possible contests. State-level competitions include the insect collection and a qualifying contest held during <a href=\"http:\/\/texas4-h.tamu.edu\/events\/roundup\/\">Roundup<\/a> in June. It is a knowledge and identification contest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: book antiqua,palatino,serif;\">The Beekeeping Essay Contest is sponsored by the The Foundation for the Preservation of Honey Bees, Inc.
