Insect Investigators
Scientists and schools, coming together to discover, describe and document Australia’s biodiversity
Collecting
We’re collecting invertebrates: insects, spiders and more, across Australia.
Describing
We describe and document them, following the scientific process of taxonomy
Educating
We bring schoolkids along with us through this process, and educate along the way.
Meet Us
We’ve brought together a team of expert taxonomists, educators and communicators, all passionate about documenting Australia’s unique biodiversity and inspiring young scientists.

Our Origins
Throughout 2019 and 2020, we developed Insect Investigators. Read about the findings from our initial study, and how we worked with school to describe new species of wasps.
Our Partners
This work would not be possible without the support from our many generous partners.
