A naturalist on the prowl. (New here, same handle on Twitter/X)

Every insect taxonomist has heard of Francis Walker, but who really was Walker? See @bfly52.bsky.social brilliant account of Francis Walker here:
The Life and Work of Francis Walker (1809–1874) by Neal L. Evenhuis. Fly Times, Supplement 2, September, 2018.
