Guy Knight
Curator of Entomology
Specialist interests:
I am responsible for the development and collection management of the museum's nationally important insect and arachnid collections, which I aim to make available to as wide a variety of users as possible.
Central to my interests is the conservation biology of British insects, especially sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta), and bees, wasps and ants (Hymenoptera: Aculeata).
I am particularly interested in the biodiversity and taxonomy of sawflies in Britain and the Western Palaearctic, and have recently become involved in co-ordinating the national distributional recording scheme for these insects. I am also active on the committee of the Bees, Wasps
and Ants Recording Society.
Current Research Projects
Collaborative studies with the Countryside Council for Wales on the invertebrate biodiversity and conservation value of coastal habitats in Wales.
