About the author

Thomas Vernon Wollaston

1822–1878

A 19th-century English entomologist, he became known for his close study of beetles and for writing detailed works on the insect life of Atlantic islands such as Madeira and the Canaries. His research helped early naturalists think more deeply about island species and how they change over time.
