“It’s a zoo in there!”
This past weekend, the entomology department held its fourth annual Insectapalooza, a festival devoted to the rich diversity of insects. The playful pun, elicited from an exiting attendee, speaks to the event’s large attendance, not only by the community but also by a host of various insects.
Organized by a committee of faculty and graduate and undergraduate students in the entomology department, the first Insectapalooza was held in 2004 to acknowledge the 100th anniversary of Cornell’s College of Agriculture and Life Science.
