Who was Jean-Jacques Kieffer?

Jean-Jacques Kieffer was a French naturalist and entomologist who specialised in the study of parasitic insects. Educated as a priest, Kieffer taught natural science in Bitche, Lorraine while working on the description and classification of insects. His work and publications later became a predominant source of description and classification for entomologists in the early 20th century, in particular with regard to parasitoid wasps, midges and mosquitos.

Kieffer received an honorary Doctor honoris causa degree from the University of Strasbourg in 1904.
