Diann Crane, M.S.

Diann Crane is the Entomologist at the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District in St. Paul, MN and has been with the district for 38 years. Her love of aquatic biology fits perfectly at MMCD where she manages the entomology lab and coordinates surveillance for the district. While working full-time, Diann received her M.S. Her research included a two-year survey of the mosquitoes in a central Minnesota state park. She also led a study that evaluated nontarget effects of Natular in spring, ephemeral pools. She has logged thousands of hours of microscope time and is amazed daily by the many beautiful insects she sees. Crane’s favorite mosquito is Uranotaenia sapphirina.
