George Thomas Rudd

George Thomas Rudd (c.1795 - 4 March 1847)[1] was an English priest and entomologist mainly interested in Coleoptera.

[5] In 1833 he was appointed vicar of Sockburn (North Yorkshire),[5] where he lived for a number of years at Worsall Hall near Yarm.

[1] He was a typical parson-naturalist, who developed a great interest in insects.

His captures of beetles are mentioned by James Francis Stephens, John Curtis and Alexander Henry Haliday and he collected insects with George Samouelle.

Rudd published six notes on insects in the Entomologist’s Magazine and other journals between 1834 and 1846 some of which dealt with beetles.
