Life

John S. Noyes took an early interest in insects. In 1963, when he was 14 years old, an article about Noyes and his hobby appeared in the local hometown newspaper Pontypridd under the title My Hobby has Wings . In 1967 he began studying zoology and applied entomology at Imperial College London . He graduated the Bachelor of Science and a doctorate in 1974 with a dissertation on the leek moth ( Acrolepiopsis assectella ) and their parasites to Ph.D. In the same year he was hired by the Natural History Museum in London as an entomologist for the study of the wood wasps (Chalcidoidea).

As part of his professional activity, Noyes undertook several long research trips, from 1980 to 1981 to New Zealand and repeatedly to Costa Rica . His numerous publications include several extensive monographs on the systematics of the wasps. As results of field research and his work on the scheme of chalcids Noyes has a family , more than 90 genera and more than 650 species described . In 1991 he set up the Universal Chalcidoidea Database , which he managed until he retired.

Noyes retired in 2009 at the age of 60, but continued his research and publication activities to a lesser extent. One genus and more than 50 species, the vast majority of them wasps, were named after him. Noyes is a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society of London and a member of the International Society of Hymenopterists .
