About the Society
The purpose of The Ohio Lepidopterists society is to promote interest
in the butterflies, skippers and moths of Ohio and neighboring states
by engaging in activities designed to increase the general knowledge
of the butterflies, skippers and moths, by disseminating scientific
information on the Lepidoptera, by encouraging conservation of wildlife
in general and of Lepidoptera in particular, and by achieving closer
cooperation and understanding among all lepidopterists so that they
may work together in the common cause of furthering the appreciation
of Lepidoptera. The Ohio Lepidopterists is a non-profit 501(c)(3)
organization incorporated in the State of Ohio.

Meetings
The Ohio Lepidopterists have at least two general membership meetings thoughout the year.
The meetings are a high point for many members, where they can enjoy the fellowship of old
and new friends. The meetings feature guest speakers, training sessions, exchange of ideas,
and a business meeting. The winter meeting, held each January in Columbus, includes the
election of officers. Summer and autumn meetings are often held in different parts of Ohio
and usually include some type of field trip or other special activity. "Identification Day"
has become a traditional opportunity in December to have specimens identified.

Field Trips
Several field trips are held each year. Destinations include sites for collecting and observing,
museums, butterfly gardens, natural areas, entomology laboratories, and libraries. Also, some
members participate in organized butterfly counts.
