CONTRIBUTOR NOTES
Contributor Anthony Harris has been Curator of Invertebrate Zoology at the Otago Museum, Dunedin, New Zealand since his appointment to the position in 1974. He has had an abiding interest in insects (especially beetles) since the age of three, the attraction stemming initially from the fact that insects are often very beautiful. Only later did it become apparent to Tony that insect behaviour is 'more fascinating than anything else.' However, his interests do include tramping, watercolour painting, listening to baroque music, and playing classical music on the piano. Tony contributes a regular column on natural history to the Otago Daily Times. His masterate study on pompilid wasps formed the basis for Fauna of New Zealand no. 12.
