George Norton Wolcott (12 July 1889 – 20 October 1965) was an American entomologist who was a specialist on the insects of the Caribbean region, particularly Puerto Rico, where he was involved in the study and control of insect pests in sugarcane cultivation.
He pioneered the use of augmented releases of insect egg parasitoids in the genus Trichogramma to control lepidopteran pests in sugarcane.
He moved around the Caribbean region, working in Peru, Haiti and the Dominican Republic over the next decade.
He published a series on the insects of Puerto Rico and wrote on economic entomology in the West Indies.
[1] Wolcott married Magdalen Ames in 1919, and they had three children, Ollie, David, and Ann
