We love capturing the need-to-know and weird–as–hell stories that you can only find in the forest. Over time, we have produced a library of entomology videos that cover our lab members’ projects and related topics. From our AI beetle classifier to the invasive fungus that kills avocado trees, there’s probably a video about something you’d like.

We also collaborate with UF IFAS Extension to distribute forest entomology videos, information, and resources to interested individuals and groups across Florida and beyond. You can learn more about UF Extension and the UF School of Forest, Fisheries, & Geomatics Sciences by visiting these channels: IFAS and SFFGS.
