Entomology Training at the University of the Ryukyus (September 2020)

The entomology training we lead for undergraduates at the University of the Ryukyus has become an annual event. This year, although the situation was doubtful due to the pandemic, we were able to shorten it and conduct the training anyway. We were thus able to educate the students by having them observe the monitoring equipment and handle actual insect specimens, which would have been difficult to convey online. Although our time together was short, we are glad we were able to conduct the training in-person. And as in previous years, the field team members also gave advice to the students.
