Hamilton Herbert Druce

Hamilton Herbert Charles James Druce (1869 – 21 June 1922) was an English entomologist who specialised in Lycaenidae and to a lesser extent Hesperiidae. He is not to be confused with his father, the English entomologist Herbert Druce (1846–1913) who also worked on Lepidoptera.

gollark: I mean, if I were being more consistent, which I probably should be, we should maybe... not have rule 4, in its current form? Probably the imagery bit due to things I already outlined, but better methods for handling "textual conversation which makes me uncomfortable" than just not having it which would generalize to other things.
gollark: Workplace-wise it is more visible from a distance, I think.
gollark: Imagery has more of that "horribly scarred for life instantly" thing going for it which you can probably avoid with text.
gollark: What are you responding to here?
gollark: Yes, this is mostly the sort of "take things as personal attacks" thing I don't like.
