Entomology Class Produces Insect 'Infomercials'

 

The 58 students in a fall quarter UC Davis Department of Entomology and Nematology class, ENT 010, not only learned “The Natural History of Insects” but they learned how to produce  “infomercials,” spotlighting such insects as honey bees,  stingless bees, fungus-growing ants, jewel wasps and blow flies.

The infomercials also include insect migration, insect sociality, and entomophagy (consumption of insects). They range in duration from two-to-five-minutes.
