Visitors and exhibitors will be coming from far and wide to Woodend for the 2025 National Insect Expo.
Hailed as the largest insect exhibition in the country, the expo will again draw people all over Australia and the world for the three-day event.
International guests travelling into Australia in order to link with representatives of the Australian Entomological Sciences include a delegation from Hong Kong, looking at potential joint research programs as well as sources for captive bred living insects for research and sources for zoological institutions.
Other international visitors to the expo will come from Germany, Canada, South Africa, Phillipines, and Japan.
National Insect Expo director Dr Bert Candusio welcomed the high volume of visitors expected to attend the expo.
“This is a major event of international significance that has been slowly building up over the past four years and an event such as the National Insect Expo, proudly places the village of Woodend as well as the entire Macedon Ranges district on the international calendar,” he said.
Dr Candusio said no other event in the Macedon Ranges also attracts so many interstate visitors from around Australia.
The expo will be held from October 3 to 5 at the Woodend Buffalo Sports Stadium from 10am to 5pm each day.
Tickets are available at the door or online at insectexpo.com.au
