Association Calendar
Collecting trips, swap meets, workshops, and member gatherings organized by the Global Insect Collecting Association.
GICA events bring collectors together — from guided field expeditions and specimen swap meets to identification workshops and annual gatherings. All events are open to members and prospective members alike.
The aim of the society is to encourage scientific research and promote the diffusion of knowledge about sawflies, bees, ants, and other wasps.
