Biography
Engelhardt was born in 1871, in Germany, where he also received his education. He came to the United States as an emigrant in 1889, and became a citizen. In 1903, he began working for the Brooklyn Museum, where he worked till his retirement in 1930. His keen interest was Aegeriidae, a family of moths. He was assisting younger generations of men, and educated them about the field, which generated a number of entomologists that came out due to his efforts, and one of them was Barnard D. Burks. He wrote only one book called American Clear-Wing Moths of the Family Aegeriidae that was not published until 4 years after his death, in 1942.[1]

gollark: I can totally read, but only things I can read.
gollark: As long as they can be multiple lines.
gollark: I think it's from the spec for some version of Scheme, and says that string constants can be in any format whatsoever, as defined by the interpreter.
gollark: > 🤣This is not a joke. PotatOS controls all.
