Practical Field Entomology for Curious Naturalists
The NOMAD Entomology Club is a community for people who want to develop real field entomology and insect identification skills.
Through monthly learning resources, identification workshops, and field challenges, members steadily build confidence in finding, observing, collecting, and identifying insects in the wild. The club connects members to the NOMAD Field Entomology & Naturalist Programme (FENP) — one of the few opportunities in the UK to learn practical field entomology outside of university.
Whether you are a beginner naturalist or already exploring insect diversity, the club provides ongoing guidance, resources, and a supportive & welcoming learning community.
Question: I’m completely new to insects. Is the NOMAD Entomology Club suitable for beginners?
Answer: Absolutely. The club is designed specifically to help beginners develop confidence in insect identification and field observation.
Many people are fascinated by insects but don’t know where to start. The NOMAD Entomology Club provides a structured way to learn through:
- monthly Field Notes explaining key insect groups
- practical identification workshops
- Simple field challenges that help you explore insects outdoors
- Clear guides to collecting and observing insects responsibly
You do not need any prior knowledge or specialist equipment. Members gradually develop their skills and understanding while learning how to recognise common insect groups and explore different habitats.
For anyone curious about insects and the natural world, the club provides an accessible pathway into practical field entomology.
Question: How will joining the club improve my insect identification skills?
Learning insect identification can feel overwhelming because there are so many species. The club simplifies this process by focusing on practical field recognition rather than academic taxonomy.
Each month, members receive resources and training that help them recognise insects through:
- major insect orders
- key visual characteristics
- habitat clues
- seasonal activity patterns
- behaviour in the field
Members also take part in monthly identification workshops where we work through real examples together and discuss photographs submitted by members.
Over time, you will begin to recognise insects much more easily and develop the core skills used by field naturalists and entomologists.
Question: What makes the NOMAD Entomology Club different from other nature groups?
Answer: The NOMAD Entomology Club focuses specifically on developing practical field entomology skills, which are rarely taught outside of universities or specialist courses.
Most nature groups focus on general wildlife interest, but this club provides structured guidance on:
- insect identification
- field collecting techniques
- habitat awareness
- naturalist observation skills
Members also gain access to the NOMAD Field Entomology and Naturalist Programme (FENP) and a growing library of digital learning resources.
In addition, the club runs several field days each year, giving members the opportunity to meet in person, explore habitats, and practise collecting and identification skills together.
For anyone who wants to move beyond casual interest and develop real entomology skills, the club provides a supportive community and ongoing learning.
