The Popenoe Entomology Club was founded in 1921 and is named for Edwin A. Popenoe (1853-1913), the founder of the entomology program at Kansas State University.

Club activities include…

  • Funding opportunities for travel to meetings and other professional development activities

  • Public education through demonstrations at the KSU Insect Zoo, KSU Open House, and area schools

  • Outreach to the community by activities supporting 4-H and FFA youth clubs

…and more!

Our team has been working for months to launch the first edition of our Coloring Book! This book features 20 coloring pages of art submitted by our members and supporters, many of which are inspired by C.V. Riley. 20% of proceeds go towards restoring the works held in the K-State Library (learn more here).
