The members of council, the president and the other officers are elected from the society's fellowship and membership.

With the support of over 60 partner organisations, the society organises Insect Week, an annual initiative to engage the public with the importance of insects and entomology, through hundreds of events and activities across the UK. The society has also organised Insect Festivals, a series of one day events in York and Bristol celebrating insects and entomology. In 2016 the society held the EntoSci conference EntoSci16 with Harper Adams University to promote entomology to 14 to 18 year olds, and again in 2018.

The society engages with policy makers, in 2023 it published a peer-reviewed paper ''Grand Challenges in Entomology'', identifying high priority challenges for the future of insect science. The society submitted evidence to the UK Parliament Science, Innovation and Technology Committee's report on Insect decline and UK food security, published in March 2024. TRES18481

In 2011 ''The Royal Entomological Society Book of British Insects'' was published with Wiley-Blackwell, aiming to summarise all of the then 558 taxonomic families of British insects, and in 2015 published ''Minibeast Magic:How to Catch Invertebrates with Tricks and Treats'' by Roma Oxford. In 2023 the society partnered with Bonnier books on ''Insectarium ''by Prof. Dave Goulson and published ''RES Insects'' with DK, written by over 80 members of the society and covering over 300 insect species.

Westwood Medal, for excellence in insect taxonomy. * Insect Conservation Award, for outstanding contribution to insect conservation. * Eleanor Ormerod Award, for outstanding application and practice of entomology. * Journal Awards, for the best papers published in each of the RES journals. * Alfred Russel Wallace Award, for an outstanding insect doctorate thesis. * Teaching Awards, for outstanding entomology teaching. * Student Award, for science communication to the general public.

Badge

On the foundation of the Entomological Society in 1833 William Kirby was made Honorary Life President and '' Stylops melittae'' (then known as ''Stylops kirbyi'') was adopted as the society's symbol. The seal was first used for a letter by the society to William Kirby, which was signed by the President and 30 members in 1836 to thank him for presenting the society with a cabinet containing his entire insect collection.
