The Society hosts various informal meetings and collecting trips as interest and time allows. A mid-winter "Breaking Diapause" party has been an effective way to break the winter doldrums and dream of days of summer breezes.

Breaking Diapause will be Saturday, March 15, 2008 at the MSU Entomological Department,
Natural Science Building, Room 244 from 9 a.m. through the afternoon.
