About Entomology Animated
Entomology Animated is a video series that uses digital animation to celebrate the diversity and biology of insects. The series was created by Eric Keller, and it combines his love of evolutionary biology with his notable skills as a computer graphics artist. The videos are intended to be an enlightening resource for students, teachers, and curious people everywhere.
We are not scientists, but we do our best to be accurate. Entomology Animated is a true passion project, made in our free time to promote entomology, evolution, and scientific communication.
We think insects are awesome. And we want you to think so too.
