While working there he became a specialist in the larvae of Coleoptera. From 1939 he was a research associate of the Smithsonian Institution, and retired from USDA in 1945. He wrote and illustrated a number of books principally describing early stages of Coleoptera development.[4] He became an honorary member of the Entomological Society of America in 1939 and a member of the Academy of Sciences in 1948.
