Orthoptera Special Interest Group (SIG) 2025
Join us at The Natural History Museum, London for the Royal Entomological Society’s annual Orthoptera meeting about grasshopper and cricket research, conservation, recording and more.
Our Orthoptera Special Interest Group (SIG) provides a forum for the discussion of all aspects of research and outreach involving Orthoptera, including behaviour, physiology, acoustics, ecology and taxonomy. The programme includes around ten short talks, with posters and livestock presented during refreshment breaks. The meeting is followed by an optional supper and drinks in the NHM common room.
We welcome contributions from all enthusiasts, students, academics, and other professionals.
