Henry Guernsey Hubbard was an American entomologist.
Background
Hubbard was born at Detroit, Michigan, in 1850. He was a descendant of George Hubbard who settled at Wethersfield, Connecticut, before 1639 and later moved to Guilford, Connecticut. His parents were Bela and Sarah (Baughman) Hubbard. His father, a native of Hamilton, N. Y. , moved to Michigan in 1835 and became a prominent and wealthy citizen of Detroit. A man of strong scientific tendencies, deeply interested in botany, forestry, arboriculture, and archeology, he served for a time as assistant to the state geologist and was the author of Memorials of a Half-Century in Michigan and the Lake Region (1888). Henry, as a boy, was well acquainted with the life habits of the birds, mammals, and other wild creatures about Detroit.
Education
He was educated at a private school in Cambridge, Massachussets, and for several years under private tutors in Europe. He graduated from Harvard in 1873.
Career
Through association there with H. A. Hagen, C. R. Osten Sacken, and E. A. Schwarz his attention became fixed on the subject of entomology. In 1874 he started a private museum in Detroit and, with Schwarz, began the formation of a great collection of Coleoptera. In company with Schwarz, he made several expeditions, notably one to the Lake Superior region, the results of which were published in a distinguished paper (Proceedings of the American Philosophical Society, 1877-78).
In 1879 he accepted for a short time the position of naturalist to the Geological Survey of Kentucky. During this year two of his brothers were drowned in Lake St. Clair, one of whom had owned an estate at Crescent City, Fla. Hubbard went to Florida to look after this property and lived there for many years, building up a semi-tropical garden which became famous. During 1880 he was made an agent of the United States Entomological Commission and later of the United States Department of Agriculture, and under these organizations conducted valuable investigations of the insects injurious to cotton.
In 1881, he began an investigation of the insects affecting the orange, in the course of which he developed a practical kerosene-soap emulsion later known as the "Riley-Hubbard emulsion. " His work on orange insects was carried to a successful conclusion, and his report on this subject, Insects Affecting the Orange (1885), published as a special volume of the Department of Agriculture, is founded wholly upon original observation. This work remained standard for many years and is one of the most careful studies ever published of the insects of a given crop.
After its publication he devoted almost all of his time for several years to advanced horticulture. In 1894, he again became connected with the Department of Agriculture as a special agent and commenced a revised edition of his work upon orange insects. His health soon began to fail, however, and he died of tuberculosis in 1899.
Achievements
Hubbard's fame as an economic entomologist depends largely upon his work on orange insects and upon his kerosene-soap emulsion formula. As a keen observer of insect life and as an ingenious and philosophical worker he earned a unique rank among the biologists of the United States. His investigations of the fauna of the Mammoth Cave, his study of the Ambrosia beetles, his work on the insect guests of the Florida land tortoise, and that upon the insect fauna of the giant cactus are striking examples of the studies – of great biological value – a lengthy series of which he made in the course of his comparatively short life. His bibliography comprises sixty-eight titles.
