Conservation Begins With Curiousity

At EntomoQuest, exploration is about more than traveling to extraordinary places. It's about understanding the small creatures that sustain our ecosystems and discovering how scientific research can help protect them.

From studying tiger beetles along Colorado's shorelines to participating in butterfly conservation fieldwork in Nepal, EntomoQuest connects field observation, scientific curiosity, and environmental education.

Our mission is to document biodiversity, contribute to meaningful conservation efforts, and share discoveries that inspire others to explore and protect the natural world.

Past Expeditions & Field Work

From the forests of Nepal to the shorelines of Colorado, EntomoQuest explores the extraordinary world of insects through field observation, conservation partnerships, and independent research.

Discover the projects, experiences, and scientific questions driving our mission to understand and protect biodiversity.

Nepal — Butterfly Conservation & Field Observation

Through a conservation trip facilitated by the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund, I had the opportunity to participate in butterfly observation and population survey activities in Nepal alongside Dr. Bimal.

This experience provided valuable exposure to field research, biodiversity monitoring, and the importance of local conservation efforts.

The expedition helped shape EntomoQuest's mission: connecting scientific exploration with meaningful conservation and inspiring others to appreciate the extraordinary world of insects.

Colorado — Barr Lake Tiger Beetle Research

At Barr Lake State Park in Colorado, EntomoQuest conducted an independent field study examining tiger beetle activity along newly exposed shoreline habitats.

Through repeated observations at two study sites, the project documented beetle abundance, habitat conditions, and behavior, including their rapid movements and interactions with sandy shoreline environments.

This research explores how changing water levels and habitat availability may influence where tiger beetles are observed.

Field observations are being compiled for further analysis and potential scientific presentation. Findings remain preliminary.

Upcoming Expeditions & Conservation Projects

Tanzania 2027 — Elephant Conservation & Bee Fence Project

Planned for June 2027

EntomoQuest is preparing to participate in a conservation initiative in Tanzania alongside the Katie Adamson Conservation Fund.

This project uses honeybee fences to help reduce human-elephant conflict. By taking advantage of elephants' natural avoidance of bees, these fences can help protect agricultural crops while supporting elephant conservation.

During the expedition, EntomoQuest will assist with building, installing, and maintaining bee fences, documenting how insects can contribute to practical conservation solutions.
