The Entomology Killings

April 25, 2025

By NZB3

A second bug scientist killed while studying in the field in as many years! Similar thing happened to me but not homicidal. Bad time to be a naturalist in Auckland. First Blockhouse Bay, now St Johns.

I don’t think its a serial killer though. I think it’s alien to certain minds that anyone would be investigating flora and fauna for study. So, they attribute it to a territorial invasion and attack violently.

In Anglo culture it’s normal to have a lawn, ornamental (edible) birds, gardens etc. To not urinate in the streets. To follow Darwin and Wallace by being an ameteur scientist studying nature. Foreigners don’t have that culture and find it suspicious.

“Man arrested over killing of Auckland insect expert Stephen Thorpe”- RNZ (2024)

“PhD student killed in ‘senseless’ Auckland bus stop attack, police seek black SUV” – RNZ (2025)

When I’ve been studying plants and bugs in urban environments I’ve been attacked too. So, I think entomologist Stephen Thorpes (murdered 2024) and now Kyle Whorral were simply doing that. Some low-IQ and low-EQ paranoid Muggle saw these men at work and were triggered into Fight/Flight. Not necessarily but probably a 3rd World immigrant in each case. It would be beyond their comprehension to stop and ask what was going on and impossible for them to imagine anyone being interested in life, the universe, and everything. A threat response was triggered.

One day we’ll find out. Police and the courts have yet to arrive at their conclusions. Without government would would deliver timely justice?
