''American Entomologist'' 38:148–169.〕 Dyar graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1889 with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry. He had begun to study insects as a young teenager,〔〔Frank E.

Retrieved Nov 5, 2010.〕 and soon after his graduation from college began publishing scientific papers about them, in particular moths of the family Limacodidae,〔 starting a lifelong interest in entomology. He was awarded a Master of Arts degree in biology from Columbia University in 1894, with his thesis on the classification of Lepidoptera, and a Doctor of Philosophy degree in 1895, with his dissertation on airborne bacteria in New York City.〔〔Kenneth L. Knight & Ruth B. Pugh. 1974. A Bibliography of Mosquito Writings of H. G. Dyar and Frederick Knab. ''Mosquito Systematics'' 6(1): 11–26.〕
Dyar was a taxonomist who published extensively on moths and butterflies (Lepidoptera), mosquitoes (Diptera: Culicidae), and sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) during his working lifetime.〔 His first job was as Assistant Bacteriologist of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University from 1895 to 1897.〔 From 1897 until his death he was Honorary Custodian of Lepidoptera at the U.S. National Museum, Washington, D.C.〔 Dyar's Law, a biological rule named for him in recognition of his original observations on the geometric progression in head capsule widths during lepidoptera larval development, is a standard tool for studying immature insects.〔
