Welcome to the Entomological Society of Ontario
Founded in 1863, the Entomological Society of Ontario (ESO) is an active association dedicated to furthering entomology through annual meetings, publications, and outreach. ESO members include students, professionals, and amateurs with a broad range of entomological interests/specialties (e.g. physiology, taxonomy, ecology, behaviour, conservation, pest management). Members are typically associated with universities, industry, or governments in Ontario (but some join us from across Canada and further abroad!).

The Entomological Society of Ontario's Diversity Statement
The Entomological Society of Ontario is dedicated to fostering an equitable, diverse, and inclusive environment within our community. We are committed to continuously promoting and integrating EDI principles within our society's activities, ensuring that all individuals, regardless of background, feel welcome, valued, and empowered. Beyond our society, we aim to extend these values across the broader field of entomology, striving to create equitable opportunities for all individuals. We will continue to support initiatives that promote diversity, equity, and inclusion by providing resources, facilitating access to opportunities, and encouraging the development of a more inclusive scientific community. Through these efforts, we hope to contribute to a more representative, innovative, and accessible future for entomology.
The ESO recognizes and supports all victims of discrimination. We realize that words cannot mend injustices faced by our minority members, but we stand with you. We hope all ESO members give their support too. Science is for everyone.
