After several generations of scholars' hard work, the Guangdong Society of Entomology has a strong, distinctive, united and hard-working team of entomological science and technology workers, and has become an important part of the national entomology science and technology team. The society is registered in law and is composed of the technological workers from scientific research, teaching or other departments who engaged in entomology in Guangdong Province. It is an academic social organization. The society is affiliated to the Institute of Zoology, Guangdong Academy of Sciences (formerly the Guangdong Institute of Entomology), and the responsible unit is the Guangdong Science and Technology Association. It is also a group member of the Chinese Entomological Society and receives relevant guidance. There are 582 members, 19 group members, and 36 directors.
