Frank Eugene Lutz became an entomologist at a time when this
science was still new. He was one of the first to set up
experiments in the study of heredity using the common fruit fly. In
his many field trips he observed unusual insects in their natural
habitats and brought back thousands of valuable specimens. As
curator of the Department of Entomology at the American Museum of
Natural History, he was responsible for innovations in labeling and
museum display. His observations of more than one thousand species
found in his own back yard were the basis for his classic book,
Lots of Insects. He set up the first nature trail in America;
devising museum exhibits in natural outdoor settings. This first
biography of one of the great American entomologists is filled with
all the excitement that is to be found in the strange and infinite
world of insects. Here is the fascinating story of Dr. Lutz s
career along with a series of natured projects you can do at home
that will help you observe insect behavior for yourself. Projects
include: Bringing Insects to You, The Hows of Collecting, and
Preserving and Mounting. While we already know much about insect
life, much, much more remains to be learned. Even the amateur
entomologist can make a contribution to science through their own
research "

Museum of Natural History, and his later expeditions which took him
