Dear Potential HYM Course participant,

We would like to encourage you to attend the upcoming seminar, Parasitic
Hymenoptera: Identification, Biology, and Curation (August 14-20) offered by
the Humboldt Institute on the coast of Maine.
This course will enable students to confidently identify families, and in
some cases subfamilies, of parasitoid and predatoid Hymenoptera. The HYM
COURSE is intended to serve conservation biologists, ecologists, graduate
students, insect identifiers, museum curators, naturalists, and other
biologists whose research, training, or teaching responsibilities require a
greater understanding of hymenopteran systematics.
