David G James developed a passion for butterflies at the age of 8 in the UK where he grew up. He received a B.S. degree in Zoology and Geography from the University of Salford and a PhD degree from Macquarie University in Sydney.
His doctoral thesis dealt with the overwintering biology of Monarch butterflies in New South Wales. During his career as an agricultural entomologist specializing in biological control he has published more than 170 scientific papers on arthropods ranging from spider mites to stink bugs to butterflies. He is an authority on acarology (mites and ticks), chemical ecology and integrated pest management as well as butterflies and moths. David is currently an Associate Professor in Entomology at Washington State University researching non-chemical and sustainable strategies for pest management in agriculture. He is also working on integrating sustainable, biologically-based pest management in viticulture with butterfly and pollinator conservation. As an authority on Pacific Northwest butterflies, David lectures publicly on butterfly biology and conservation and is actively involved in a number of citizen science projects that have butterflies as their focus.
