Judging by the hundreds of drawers and boxes I would say yes.

Yes he is, but.........collectors come in many forms, philosophies, with preferences, techniques, and reasons for doing/collecting. He had a pretty good approach to what he does and for what he wants from his work. I did like his ecological statements and a lot of what he said was correct........that is....as this collector sees it

I think this is all about perceptions on boundaries and traditions. It's only a collector with a collection because this is what we taught as Entomology in museums but I think the time has moved on since the 18th century. Boundaries and traditions created stereotypes and it's up to us as an individual to chose to break the traditions or follows it. I have a degress on visual arts, dose that make me an artist NO, I like insect dose it means I'm a colloctor or a entomologist. The answer is NO, I'm just a indiviual who enjoy what I'm doing without a box or stereotypical name to put myself into. I do see insect as just an other medium like paint, clay, wood or metal...... At the end of the day it's only a name. Treats everyone as an indiviual rather than a category.

He sells cheap butterflies in frames at silly prices. Selling something cheap for silly prices and calling it art is what artists nowadays do, thus he is an artist.

Check at 05:58 of the first video how many (and in fine quality) males of the Bolivian Prepona deiphile xenagoras and garleppiana (at least 5 garleppiana !) he has got. He must be a rich man.
