Interests[edit]
I have been contributing to Wikipedia since July 2005 and deal with topics on entomology, mainly on Diptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera. I return to an early interest in Snow Butterflies Parnassius from time to time. Many years working with type material led to an interest in zoological entomological history. I hope you like Timeline of Entomology and its mirror the wonderful French sites Portail:Histoire de la zoologie et de la botanique. [1] and Histoire de Histoire Naturelle
