About
Selected Publications

I am the manager for the Cornell University Insect Collection and the Insect Diagnostic Lab. My main research interest is microlepidoptera with a focus on the taxonomy of the tortricid moth tribe Archipini in the New World. You will often find me collecting in various parts of the world or browsing insect collections in efforts to document the Lepidoptera fauna of New York State. You can also find me leading various public outings and talks on Insects.
