Insect Festival Fun!
The Arizona Insect Festival, including Pollinator Paradise, was covered in the Tucson Sentinel
EEB's Pollinator Paradise booth was a hit at the 2026 Arizona Insect Festival Sunday, October 4, as the one-day festival had astonishing attendance this year. The booth has been organized for a long time by the Bronstein and Papaj labs, and Grad Student Meredith Willmott was the organizer this year. Molly Gans, Nick Dabagia, Poppy Northing, Natalie Reynolds, Chii Kojima, Honors student Alli Irwin, and others helped out, along with speakers Dan Papaj, Judie Bronstein, and Meredith.
Thank you to all those who made this event especially great!
