Peter Jørgensen (entomologist)
Peter Jørgensen ("Pedro Jorgensen") (3 August 1870 in Sønderby, Funen – June 1937 in Villarrica, Paraguay) was a Danish early 20th century entomologist, active particularly in Argentina and Paraguay.
== Life ==
Peter Jørgensen was educated teacher of English and German from Copenhagen 1889. In 1892 he acquired tuberculosis — a condition he suffered from throughout the remainder of his life. In 1906, he joined his friend Anders Christian Jensen-Haarup on a trip to the Mendoza Province in western Argentina in the hope that the arid Andean climate of that region would be beneficial to his health. The two naturalists made extensive insect collections, which were either sold (e.g. to the German entomologist Heinrich Friese〔Friese 1908〕) to cover their travel expenses or were sent to specialists for identification. They also published short accounts (in Danish) on their adventures in Argentina.
Jørgensen moved on to Paraguay, where he settled near Villarrica. He committed his life to a small farm and further entomological research. He also became a plant collector for several American museums. He was found murdered at his farm in June 1937.
