Jeanne considers herself lucky to have been working as curator of entomology for Glasgow Museums for the past six years. She finds that the job is endlessly varied and brilliant, like the insects that she studies: dealing with weird and wonderful public enquiries; curating the Museum’s sizeable collections; organising displays; giving tours, talks and training; and enjoying the odd bit of fieldwork when they let her out. She is most passionate about the Hymenoptera (bees, wasps and ants) because of their amazing and complex behaviours, and the aquatic insects because she likes getting her wellies wet. Most of the work she does is on British insects, although fieldwork in Trinidad and Iceland, and work for the plant health department of what was DEFRA (now FERA), introduced her to those from further afield.
