Biography:

I am a natural history writer, author of Insectpedia (Princeton University Press, 2022), and Wasps: The Astonishing Diversity of a Misunderstood Insect (Princeton University Press, 2021), and lead author of the Kaufman Field Guide to Insects of North America. I co-authored Insects Did It First with Gregory S. Paulson (Xlibris, 2018). I also write the blog "Bug Eric." I studied entomology at Oregon State University, though did not graduate. I've been employed as an entomologist at the Oregon Zoo, Cincinnati Zoo, and Chase Studio, Inc., plus private contracts with the Smithsonian Institution, University of Massachusetts, and elsewhere. I took up digital photography in March, 2009.
