Our Mission

We provide comprehensive insect and wildlife educational resources for youth, adults, and licensed pest management professionals in California.

We hope to inspire the next generation of entomologists and biologists with our upcoming K-6 instructional materials that align with California Next Generation Science Standards (CA NGSS).

We believe a deeper understanding of insect and wildlife behavior leads to better management decisions for home gardeners and pest management professionals alike. Our interactive, multimedia resources focus on essential knowledge to help resolve conflicts with these creatures and improve the balance within our shared environments.
