👉 A dipterist is a person who specializes in the study of insects, particularly those that are found in the Americas. They study these creatures to understand their behavior, ecology, and physiology. Dipterists often use scientific methods such as microscopy, x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy (XRF), and microscopes to analyze insect specimens. Their work can help scientists better understand how insects interact with their environment and how they survive in various habitats.
