Give the Gift of Discovery
Looking for a meaningful, inspiring, and truly unique gift?
A Royal Entomological Society (RES) Gift Membership is the perfect way to support someone’s passion for insects, science, and the natural world, while helping advance entomology globally.
Whether they’re an aspiring entomologist, a lifelong insect enthusiast, a student, researcher, conservationist, or someone who simply finds joy in the wonders of the natural world, gifting RES membership is a way to give them opportunity, community, and knowledge that lasts all year.
Why a Gift Membership means so much
When you purchase a Gift Membership, you’re not just buying a present – you’re opening the door to a world of scientific connection, learning, and contribution.
Inspire a Lifelong Passion
Your gift supports the next generation of insect scientists by giving them access to lectures, events, training opportunities, and a thriving global community.
Unlock Access to Entomological Knowledge
Members can read our quarterly Antenna magazine, have access to scientific networks, events, our scientific journals, our globally important library, and updates across the world of entomology.
Join a Global Learned Society
The RES has been advancing insect science since 1833.
By gifting membership, you’re inviting someone into a respected international community working to understand and protect the little things that underpin life on Earth.
Join a community of researchers, artists and scientists alike dating back to the 1800s, with names including Charles Darwin (1838), Alfred Russel Wallace (1870) and even Queen Elizabeth II , who signed the RES Obligations Book in 1985, to name just a few.
Support a Charity Making an Impact
Membership helps fund education, outreach and conservation projects, grants and awards to researchers advancing entomology, and open access to insect science. It’s a gift that gives back to science, ecology and the world.
A Gift That Truly Makes a Difference
From connecting with experts and attending specialist events, to accessing a community that shares their passion, the recipient of your gift will gain far more than a membership – they’ll gain belonging, and join a community of like-minded people with the same goals.
