These hand-drawn illustrations on this site were created over more than 50 years (ca. 1960 – 2016) by faculty, colleagues, and students of the Maryland Department of Entomology! Most drawings are by the late Dr. Francis Eugene (Gene) Wood and Dr. John A. Davidson. Additional images were contributed by Dr. Michael J. Raupp, colleagues Elaine R. Hodges and Arthur D. Cushman (SEL, ARS, USDA), and by students Amy K. Bartlett, Manya B. Stoetzel, and Warren E. Steiner, Jr. The interest in scientific illustration artwork at the Entomology Department was first engendered by Gene Wood around 1960. His drawings were used as teaching aids and incorporated into pamphlets, fact sheets, and other documents.

The Entomology Student Organization (ESO) of the Department of Entomology at the University Of Maryland is an organization established for the advancement and recognition of entomology graduate students.
Through our Constitution and Bylaws we "secure and protect the rights of all graduate students in the Entomology department." These rights are established by a governing committee made up of an elected Executive Council. We are responsible for informing students of changes to department and university policy, distribution of departmental awards, and planning and executing fundraisers and social events. We are also active participants in graduate student recruitment, so if you're a potential student contact us! |
