[edit] Background
For anyone wondering, I'm the collection manager of a major US insect collection, at the University of California, Riverside, and an actively publishing insect systematist. I work with several different insect orders, but focus on the Hymenoptera in particular. I am also intimately involved with efforts to create a standardized "Official" registry of zoological scientific names, and expect I may ultimately get involved in formal collaboration with Wikipedia.
For the valuable service you, User:Dyanega, have performed on the entomology pages in your short time on Wikipedia, in improving the quality of many topic pages, adding pages to fill in gaps, and generally organizing the subject area - I award you this seal of excellence:
No cheapskate "barnstars," you are hereby awarded this barn! --

For making your knowledge available without barriers, staying abreast and making use of every new techological advance in communication and doing a quiet and unsung service to entomology in the true spirit of enquiry.
