Steven Passoa

Steven Passoa studies moths (Lepidoptera), focusing on identifying species based on their larval, pupal, and adult forms, documenting their host plants, and tracking the spread of invasive or newly introduced species. This work supports agricultural pest detection and biosecurity efforts by helping distinguish harmful or non-native insects from native ones. Much of the research involves detailed taxonomic descriptions and distribution records for specific moth families in North America and Central America.

Publication output has been slow but steady over the last decade, averaging under one paper per year with intermittent gaps.
