Douglas Tallamy is an American entomologist, ecologist and conservationist. He is a professor in the Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology at the University of Delaware.[1] He has written and co-authored several books as well as papers.

Tallamy advocates for home gardens and landscaping that bridge the gaps between parks and preserves in providing habitat for native species. He has spoken on the connections between plants and insects and how those relations are important to birds.  He has called for smaller lawns. 

Tallamy has overseen rigorous field-studies that examine native versus introduced flora as caterpillar hosts and chickadee habitat
