About

Théo Léger is the scientific head of the Lepidoptera collection at the Museum für Naturkunde in Germany. His research focuses on the diversity and taxonomy of Lepidoptera, with recent publications addressing species from the Philippines, Spain, and the Canary Islands. He has contributed significantly to the understanding of various Lepidoptera families, including Crambidae and Oecophoridae, through morphological studies and DNA barcoding techniques.
