There is a group of advanced macrophotographers that hold various "BugShot" events, where people of all backgrounds and abilities can gather to learn about bug macrophotography, to photograph bugs together, and to generally socialize. There are always a couple per year, generally with one overseas somewhere (exotic tropical places, generally), but they also do one in the U.S. This summer they have two planned for the U.S., which is unusual.
Here is the link to the BugShot events for this year:

This summer I can make the one at Indiana Dunes National Park (in early August). I am already registered to go to that one. It's about a 7 hour drive. My first BugShot!!! 😄

Back in the summer of 2020, I was all set to go to my first one in Florida. Then Covid hit, and that was that.
