West German Entomology Day 2026: Discover the Fascinating World of Insects
On November 21 and 22, 2026, Düsseldorf will become the meeting point for insect and entomology enthusiasts. The West German Entomology Day combines scientific presentations, current research, and passionate nature observation into a versatile event experience at the Max Planck Gymnasium.
Ants as Superorganisms
The thematic journey begins with a look at the diversity of ants. Magdalena Sorger shows why taking a close look at the world of these social insects is worthwhile and what fascinating organizational forms exist within an ant colony. The audience's atmosphere thrives on the interplay between illustrative examples and scientific contextualization.
Evolution, Adaptation, and Grasshoppers
Martin Husemann dedicates his presentation to the evolution of grasshoppers. His talk opens perspectives on adaptation, species diversity, and the biological processes that shape the lives of insects. For students, nature lovers, and experienced researchers, the conference equally provides professional insights.
Beneficial Organisms Against Invasive Pests
A particularly relevant question is addressed by Annette Herz: Can beneficial organisms, as so-called hitchhikers, regulate invasive pests, or does their use create a new risk for native nature? The presentation connects entomology, species conservation, and ecological responsibility, highlighting the importance of solid event planning in scientific exchange.
The Stories Behind Insect Names
Michael Ohl takes the audience into the world of discoveries and scientific names. Under the title Game of Names, it discusses the naming of insects, the history of biological research, and the question of how knowledge about species is created and passed on.
Professional Exchange with an Open Audience
The West German Entomology Day targets a diversely interested audience: Students, early-career researchers, scholars, actors from nature and species conservation, and all people excited about insects are welcome. The organization by the Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum creates a professional framework for lectures, discussions, and new contacts.
The Aquazoo Löbbecke Museum has an extensive entomological collection with over 500,000 objects. This professional expertise provides a strong background for a conference that combines scientific accuracy with lively nature observation.
Conclusion: Experience Entomology Live in Düsseldorf
The West German Entomology Day 2026 promises two intensive days filled with expert knowledge, surprising insights, and inspiring encounters. Those who want to experience the complex world of ants, grasshoppers, beneficial organisms, and other insects from new perspectives will find an engaging event experience with a special atmosphere in Düsseldorf on November 21 and 22.
