I like to describe myself as "rabid macro-moth
enthusiast". My interests are focused mainly the Alberta
macro-moth fauna, and in particular the Noctuoidea.
Summers are devoted to collecting Lepidoptera, in particular in
the poorly sampled or neglected habitats of the province such the
bogs and fens, sandy and dune areas, badlands and grasslands, as
part of the "Alberta Moth Project" of the Alberta
Lepidopterists' Guild (ALG). In the off-season I am mainly
involved in curating and databasing the Lepidoptera collection in
of the Strickland Museum, and in building the Lepidoptera
component of the Virtual Museum. I also have a long-term research
interest in the speciation and taxonomy of the North American
members of the noctuid genus Panthea. In conjunction with several
other members of ALG, I am working on an updated Annotated
Checklist of the Lepidoptera of Alberta, with responsibility for
the Noctuidae section.
I am a founding member, Past President and Director of the
Alberta Lepidopterists' Guild, a member of the Lepidoptera
Sub-committee of COSEWIC, and a Vice-President elect of the
Lepidopterists Society.
Having recently retired, I can now devote most of my time to
Lepidoptera-related activities.
