該協(xié)會采用上述兩種名稱。它為昆蟲學(xué)家提供了一個論壇，歡迎所有對昆蟲或其他陸生節(jié)肢動物、它們的生態(tài)學(xué)、行為學(xué)、系統(tǒng)學(xué)、生理學(xué)、控制、保護(hù)等感興趣的人士加入。該學(xué)會成立于1928年，并出版了季刊《堪薩斯昆蟲學(xué)會雜志》(Journal of The Kansas昆蟲學(xué)會)，其中收錄了當(dāng)?shù)刈髡咭约皝碜允澜缭S多其他地方的人的論文。該協(xié)會每年在堪薩斯或附近的州舉行年會，會上學(xué)生和知名昆蟲學(xué)家會展示他們的研究成果或?qū)Ω信d趣的話題的評論。沒有并發(fā)會話!這樣就促進(jìn)了個體之間以及他們不同學(xué)科之間的互動。

The Society goes by both of the above names.It provides a forum for entomologists and welcomes as members all persons interested in insects or other terrestrial arthropods, their ecology, behavior, systematics, physiology, control, conservation, etc. The Society was established in 1928, and produces a quarterly publication, the Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society that contains papers by local authors as well as by persons from many other parts of the world.The Society holds annual meetings in Kansas or nearby states, at which students as well as established entomologists present results of their research or reviews of topics of interest. There are no concurrent sessions! Thus interactions among individuals and their diverse disciplines are fostered.
