F. C. (Fred Corry) Bishopp

Fred Corry Bishopp was an American entomologist born in 1884 and remembered for research on insects and arachnids that affected human and animal health. Smithsonian records describe him as an expert on the housefly, and note that he led the Division of Insects Affecting Man and Animals in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine from 1904 to 1953.

His work focused on very practical problems: flies, ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, lice, and related pests, especially where they spread disease or harmed livestock. Archive and library records also credit him with assembling the Tick Collection at what is now the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.

As an author, Bishopp is associated with straightforward government bulletins and scientific publications meant to be useful in everyday life, including works on fleas and other common pests. Surviving collections of his papers show a career deeply tied to public health, agricultural science, and the effort to turn entomology into clear advice people could actually use.
