該協會采用上述兩種名稱。它為昆蟲學家提供了一個論壇，歡迎所有對昆蟲或其他陸生節肢動物、它們的生態學、行為學、系統學、生理學、控制、保護等感興趣的人士加入。該學會成立于1928年，并出版了季刊《堪薩斯昆蟲學會雜志》(Journal of The Kansas昆蟲學會)，其中收錄了當地作者以及來自世界許多其他地方的人的論文。該協會每年在堪薩斯或附近的州舉行年會，會上學生和知名昆蟲學家會展示他們的研究成果或對感興趣的話題的評論。沒有并發會話!這樣就促進了個體之間以及他們不同學科之間的互動。

The Society goes by both of the above names.It provides a forum for entomologists and welcomes as members all persons interested in insects or other terrestrial arthropods, their ecology, behavior, systematics, physiology, control, conservation, etc. The Society was established in 1928, and produces a quarterly publication, the Journal of the Kansas Entomological Society that contains papers by local authors as well as by persons from many other parts of the world.The Society holds annual meetings in Kansas or nearby states, at which students as well as established entomologists present results of their research or reviews of topics of interest. There are no concurrent sessions! Thus interactions among individuals and their diverse disciplines are fostered.
