It’s is with great sadness we learn of the passing of our collaborator and colleague Peter Hammond. Peter’s expertise in the Coleoptera was second to none. A great loss to taxonomy and our beetle community. He will be missed.

A wonderful & clever man who I had the privilege to work with a number of times. He was also v good at frisbee & v funny. We talked alot on his beloved Norfolk & through the eyes of beetles he taught me a great deal about the British countryside. Rest happily lovely Peter Hammond

Absolutely colossal loss to entomology. RIP Peter Hammond, @NHM_London, someone who forgot more about beetles than I will ever know. Grateful to have been a recipient of some of his knowledge. Special memories of smoking on the old NHM entom dept roof with Peter and Barry Bolton.
