Charles Valentine Riley Collection. Special Collections, USDA National Agricultural Library.
Charles Valentine Riley (1843-1895) was a visual artist and entomologist. Born in England, Riley settled in the United States in 1850. He had grown up studying and sketching insects, and he quickly began to apply his abilities while working for Prairie Farmer, a Chicago-based agricultural journal. In 1868, Riley was recommended for and appointed to the post of entomologist for the state of Missouri. In this capacity, he not only became a distinguished entomologist, but he also revolutionized the entire field of entomology. In 1878, Riley became the second Chief Entomologist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture, succeeding Townend Glover. Riley held this position over a period of 17 years, having parted with the USDA briefly from 1880 to 1881 over a procedural dispute. During the 1880s, Riley was also closely involved with the U.S. National Museum (now the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History), to which he donated his collection of over 100,000 insect specimens. He served as an assistant curator for the museum, specializing in insects. Riley worked in both capacities until his death in 1895.
