Dr Christine Lambkin was the Curator of Entomology responsible for the Queensland Museum’s collections of Diptera (flies), Coleoptera (beetles), Orthoptera (grasshoppers), Hemiptera (bugs), Phasmatodea (stick insects), and a number of smaller insect orders for 16 years.
Christine has used Malaise traps in many biodiversity assessments, surveys, and projects, concentrating on the Diptera, especially the lower brachyceran families Bombyliidae (bee flies) and Therevidae (stiletto flies).
