Born in Medina, New York , he was a star student at Cornell University , where he became interested in beetles and started on a revision of the Nearctic Silphidae . He graduated in 1942, the same year that he married his high school sweetheart Mary Ennis .[2]
His first job was at the New York State Conservation Department , studying the stomach contents of game birds , but in July 1942 he joined the US Army (as a private) and was sent to Lowry Air Force Base to study the Sperry bombsight .[2] Avon Park Air Force Range in Florida to survey the mosquito population and control it, and from there to the Army School of Malariology in Panama to teach mosquito taxonomy.[1]
In October 1945 he was discharged and returned to Cornell for graduate study, where he studied under Robert Matheson and Walter Muenscher , receiving a master's degree in 1946 and the doctorate in 1948, where he returned to beetle work, revising the Oedemeridae .[3] Coleopterist's Bulletin in 1947, while still a grad student.
In July 1948, the newly minted Dr. Arnett moved to Arlington, Virginia and went to work for the USDA as a beetle taxonomist. He returned to academia in 1954 however, as head of the biology department of Saint John Fisher College in Rochester, New York , then to The Catholic University of America in 1958, where he published his best-known work Beetles of the United States (1963).[4] Purdue University , later spending three years as Henry L. Beadel Fellow at the Tall Timbers Research Station near Tallahassee, Florida , and then in 1973 moving to Siena College in Loudonville, New York .[1]
In 1979 he resigned his position to write full-time, publishing several books, then in 1982 founding Flora and Fauna Publications in Gainesville, Florida .[3] E.J. Brill Publishers , but in 1989 they stopped doing biology, and he formed Sandhill Crane Press to continue with his work.[4] Center for Systematic Entomology during this time.
He died at his home in Gainesville, while working on a new handbook American Beetles , which was published posthumously.
