Having found out about Don’s death after his funeral, I wish to pay my respect and show my gratitude not with a bunch of flowers but with a bunch of Dapanoptera (Tipulidae) wings from species he collected (see overleaf). The members of this genus have aptly been referred to as the Birds of Paradise of the tipulid world by the family’s greatest student and Don’s colleague, Charles Alexander.
