Born: November 11

Died: June 16

A noted entomologist, he travelled the world describing new species of lice. Among these were chewing owl lice, burrowing lion lice, and what he described as “The King Louse” – thumb-sized dragon lice. His studies did not bring him widespread fame or fortune, but there is a bronze bust in the foyer of the Royal Society for Insect Studies in his honor.  He died in pursuit of the famed Great Morpho butterfly, which he did not find.
