Greetings,

Some subscribers of NatureNS may be interested in an obituary of  
entomologist Ken Neil (1952-2011) which I wrote for the Bulletin of  
the Entomological Society of Canada:

Majka, C.G. 2012. In Memory/En souvenir de: Kenneth Allan Neil  
(1952-2011). Bulletin of the Entomological Society of Canada 44(1): 47.

There is a copy online at:

	http://www.chebucto.ns.ca/Environment/NHR/PDF/ESC_Ken_Neal_March_2012.pdf

Ken was an indefatigable enthusiast when it came to entomology, and  
both on and off professionally, and as an avocation, was passionate in  
his pursuit of the Lepidoptera of Nova Scotia. Ken described one  
species and one subspecies of moths new to science, reared many  
species, recorded host plant information, and published descriptions  
of nine species of larvae amongst his 22 scientific publications.

Ken's enthusiasm for collecting moths never flagged over the many  
years of his activity, and he will be missed by the many entomologists  
with whom he collaborated and who he assisted over the years.

Best wishes,

Chris
