Thank you Zeiss for these nice words about Danny. He was indeed a very passionate and knowledgeable man about entomology and photography. I miss him a lot ! |

I always wondered what happened to Danny's collection. He lived near the Field Museum, and I imagined that they may have received it. Does anyone know?

The collection has been sold by Danny's parents to an American private collector.

Denny’s collection was extensive and must cost a fortune. Surly one has to be a serious collector with deep packets to be able to acquire such. Did Denny collect only butterflies or moths and other orders as well, I can’t recall to see any of these.

The new owner is certainly a 'serious' collector. He has acquired a number of significant US collections including the James Scott collection.
