Daniel William Coquillett was the sixth child of Francis Marquis LaFayette Coquillett and his wife Sara Ann. He was born on January 23, 1856 on a farm at Pleasant Valley near Woodstock, Illinois, United States.
William was educated at the country school and taught there for one or two terms.
While helping his father on the farm Coquillett began collecting, rearing, and studying insects. He bought books on entomology with all of his spare money, and began corresponding with A. R. Grote of Buffalo. He also studied birds, and in 1876, with his brother’s help printed on a hand-press The Oology of Illinois. His first paper was on the larvae of Lepidoptera, and was published in the Canadian Entomologist for 1880. This article attracted the attention of Cyrus Thomas, state entomologist of Illinois, and Coquillett was engaged to prepare an article on these larvae for the entomologist’s Annual Report. He was then employed by Thomas until his health failed in 1882, when his parents took him to Anaheim, California, where he recovered and continued his studies of insects.
In 1885 he was appointed a field agent of the Division of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture. During this employment he experimented with hydrocyanic-acid gas as a remedy for scale insects and perfected its use. In 1887 he cared for the first shipments sent by Koebele from Australia of the beneficial ladybird beetle (Vedalia or N0- vius cardinalis). He handled them with extreme care and succeeded in bringing about their acclimatization, with the result that they saved citrus culture in California, by destroying the white or cottony cushion scale which threatened ruin to the growers.
In 1893 he was brought to Washington, and in 1896 was appointed custodian of the Diptera in the United States National Museum, holding this position until his death.
Coquillett was the foremost dipterologist of the United States. His main achievements were associated with his work on hydrocyanic-acid gas, his help in the acclimatization of the Australian ladybird beetle, and in the taxonomic study of the true flies. He was a tireless worker, and his bibliography covered more than two hundred and fifty titles.
