Elsie Wilkins Sexton (née Wing, 27 April 1868 – 18 February 1959) was an English zoologist and biological illustrator.
[4] Her illustrations were first published in 1902, when Sexton provided 12 plates to the British Museum's report on the collections made during the voyage of the Southern Cross.
[2] Although Sexton never formally trained as a zoologist, in 1906 she undertook to identify and study amphipod specimens Dr Allen had collected on a field trip to the Bay of Biscay.
[6] Sexton's discovery of a red-eyed mutation in the species Gammarus chevreuxi led to her starting a series of genetic experiments.
Sexton made illustrations of carvings from Papua New Guinea for the book published by her friend Reverend John Henry Hamilton.
