Dr Walter Hüther, soil zoologist, entomologist and university lecturer, died on 11 May 2019, aged 87 years, in Bochum. Walter Hüther (Figs. 1 and 2) was born on 22 August 1931 in Homburg (Saarland), Germany, as the fourth of five children. He became interested in zoology already as a pupil, first at the elementary school and later at the grammar school for natural sciences in Zweibrücken, and this topic was to accompany him throughout his life.
