History

Based in the UK, the Amateur Entomologists' Society was founded in 1935 as The Entomological Exchange and Correspondence Club, for the purpose of providing a forum through which amateur and young entomologists could exchange not only information, but also equipment and other such items. Entomology is the scientific study of insects. ...

1937 saw the name of the group changed to the Amateur Entomologists Society, which has remained unchanged since then.

The journal of the AES first appeared as The Bulletin in 1939, and it was also during this year that the first non-periodical publication, a leaflet entitled "Coleoptera Collecting", was produced.

The Society has advised on invertebrate conservation issues for over 40 years, and has been consulted over legislation such as the UK's Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, and reviews of the Act. The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 is an Act of Parliament in the United Kingdom which aims to protect the wildlife and countryside of the United Kingdom. ...

In 1989 the Bulletin became a bi-monthly journal instead of quarterly, and now has a colour section alternating with Invertebrate Conservation News.

However, during 1997 the AES merged with the Bug Club to form the AES Bug Club which is the junior section of the society today. The Bug Club has a separate bi-monthly journal, The Bug Club Magazine.
