Glenn Fine, a Siskiyou County resident, has spent the past six years immersed in the study of moths. He collaborates with universities across the U.S. and internationally, works with independent researchers, and maintains a close partnership with the California Academy of Sciences. A skilled lepidopterist, Glenn has uncovered numerous species new to science and is passionate about sharing the surprising diversity and ecological importance of these often-overlooked insects.

Dana Ross is a recognized expert in Pacific Northwest butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera). His life-long amateur interest in these insects eventually led to an M.S. degree in Entomology from Oregon State University under Dr. Jeffrey Miller. Dana currently holds a Courtesy Faculty position within Oregon State University’s Department of Integrative Biology where he serves as a curator of Lepidoptera at the Oregon State Arthropod Collection.
