Entomology welcomed benefactors from United Titanium Inc. (UTI), on Aug. 31, 2021, for the official ribbon cutting of the United Titanium Bug Zoo (UTBZ) and an up-close-and-personal visit with several of the inhabitants.
The UTBZ has made strides to become an interesting and educational destination to learn about the wonderful world of arthropods! Along with the live arthropod displays, we also have been focusing on the static displays that grace the large cases in the front lobby. The College of Wooster’s Natural History of Invertebrates class came to discuss careers in Entomology. They helped create a display using the “six degrees of separation” activity for the field of Entomology. From the varied career paths of the class, the display showcases how any career can be enhanced with an Entomology degree.
