EP 7 Insect biologist and ecosystems advocate Steven Montgomery brings us the beauty & fragility of Hawai`i’s smallest creatures

Beginning with his arrival in Hawai`I in 1968, entomologist and University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa professor emeritus of genetics and molecular biology Steven Montgomery has discovered insects and plants new to science. While his expertise includes an extraordinary array of Hawaiian insects--from picture wing flies to the carnivorous caterpillar found no where else in the world--his passion includes everything from keiki education to Hawaiian ecosystem protection as a former member of Hawai‘i's Land Use Commission.
