Curator at the Montréal Insecatrium since 1990. Also entomology and museology and exhibtry consultant for Design + Communications and Lord Cultural.

I am very interested by Coleoptera:Scarabaeidae:Dynastinae and native butterflies. Author of numerous paper and one book: Papillons et chenilles du Québec et de Maritimes/Quintin/2012

Over the last 20 years I negotiated the donations of over 25 collections for the Insectarium, including an incredible birdwing butterfly collection. I am an expert in insect exhibitry and display of preserved and live insect collections. I created several butterfly houses and insectariums all over the world. I was the scientific consultant for the Audubon Insectarium in New Orleans as well as other insectaria in Newfoundland, Hong-Kong, Bonaventure, Québec, and China and also for the TV series INSECTIA as seen on the National Geographic and Discovery Channels. Stephane’s collection contains about 20,000 Scarabaeoidea, mainly Dynastinae (950 species, 75 paratypes), Rutelinae, Euchirinae, and Lucanidae. I am a collaborator with Team scarab at the University of Nebraska.
