Collecting Insects in Brightest Africa will chronicle the adventures of hunting ‘small’ game in Africa. Part travelogue, part natural history and entomology, the course will weave its way through the history of collecting insects in Africa to the present. The stage is set by highlighting several pivotal early African Insect collectors. Then the African insect fauna will be presented and discussed from recent collecting expeditions to South Africa, the Kingdom of Lesotho, Namibia, Morocco and Malawi. Insect collecting protocols and the importance of collecting will also be addressed.
