This donation level honors the 7 largest orders of insects (Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera, Lepidoptera, Orthoptera, Odonata & Hemiptera).

It takes periodical cicadas in Arkansas 13 years to complete their lifecycle and in some cultures cicadas are a sign of good fortune! Not to mention, 13 is a very lucky number for ENTO-ROADSHOW creator Austin Jones!

There are at least 30 different orders of insects containing multiple millions of species. Some estimates are that ~7,000 new species of insects are discovered each year!

One goal of the ENTO-ROADSHOW is to visit each and every of the 75 counties of Arkansas!

The U of A has been around for 153 years!

Celebrate the over 500,000 species of beetles by donating one dollar for each 1,000 species! The Eastern Hercules beetle is the largest beetle in North America and can be found right here in the Natural State!

Pollination is one of the most important ecosystem services that insects perform for environmental stability and human nutrition. Donation at this level will definitely make our program bear fruit!

It takes the occurrence of multiple generations of monarch butterflies to reach Canada from overwintering sites in Mexico, but a single "Methuselah Generation" monarch butterfly can travel over 2,500 miles from Canada back to Mexico, outliving and outpacing their northbound ancestors by a long shot. You too can outpace the pack with this level of donation! -- If you give at this level, we will create a small exhibit of your favorite bugs with a sign thanking you!
