Florida Entomologist (An International Journal for the Americas) has published reports of research on insects and other arthropods since 1917. In 1994, it became the first long-published, refereed, natural science journal to make its content available on the Internet and the first journal to use PDF for that purpose. In 1999, it became the first long-published life science journal to have all current and back issues freely accessible on the Web.

The Florida Entomological Society, founded in 1917, promotes entomology as a science and as a profession, encourages research relative to insects and related arthropods, and distributes and publicizes knowledge pertaining to insects and related arthropods.
