He wants to be an entomologist when he grows up, so, he wants to research a famous American "bug scientist." I have been surfing the Web for information and found your site.

Can you share the name of a famous American entomologist? He is required to give basics such as birth date and place, death date and place if deceased, something they did as a child, young adult, and his/her claim to fame. He also is required to share 4 - 6 interesting facts about them. Can you help?

We also have a history section on our Web site at http://entocentennial.tamu.edu. Some of the more famous Texas entomologists are mentioned there.

Here at Texas A&M University, we have many noted entomologists. There are faculty resumes on our Web site (http://insects.tamu.edu) that would be a start for local entomologists.

Thanks for writing us. We're always happy to hear about a young person's interest in entomology.
