Collection of Papers: New Zealand 2023 Bug of the Year Nominees
In Nov 2022, the Entomological Society of New Zealand launched the New Zealand Bug of the Year competition. In this collection of papers, we include papers published in New Zealand Entomologist that have been written about the 24 insects and spiders nominated for the inaugural 2023 competition (note that as of Jan 2023, only 19 of the 24 nominees have had papers published in New Zealand Entomologist. We will continue to add to the collection so that all nominees are represented by at least one paper!).
You can learn more about the nominees and vote for your favourite (before 13 Feb 2023) by visiting the Bug of the Year website. Then, follow (or initiate) campaigns for your favourites on social media (use #BugOfTheYear2023 and tag us @NZEntoSoc).
