Entomology in Nabokov's work is presented MUCH more modestly than, for example, in Fowles - here he can be called an "entomologist writer" smile.gif

The list of the most famous entomologists includes many Russians
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_entomologists
but of these, only Rasnitsyn

Well, what does Durimar (even as a fictional character) have to do with it? He's more of a hirudologist! lol.gif

Although it is fictional, it is well-known to the masses. smile.gif Did you go with a net? An entomologist, then. smile.gif Well, that is, "hirudologist "is an even less well-known word for the masses than" entomologist", and in fact"hirudologist"="entomologist"="catching boogers".

A country boy asks (looking at our nets):
"Who are you?" eek.gif
- Entomologists.
"And in Russian?"
— well... catching beetles! smile.gif

If so, then Paganel is better known than Duremar.

I also, as a layman, have Paganel only in memory

So, we need to remember the bilogy. leeches seem to belong to worms, and not to insects.

so Duremar is not an entomologist.

by the way, why is the name of a person who deals with insects "entomologist" and not "insectologist"?

GERALD DURRELL, then!!!!He is not fictional,everyone knows him and
collected insects as a child.

I'm for Gerald Durrell with both hands. I have a portrait of him hanging at home, taken in Taimyr by the ornithologist Igor Chupin.

But if we also take into account arachnologists, what about K. Y. Eskov?
