He gave up fourteen years of bank service to devote himself full-time to his hobby of collecting butterflies and beetles. The first five years were spent collecting in Brisbane, followed by five years collecting in Townsville, then Kuranda. He also made several shorter expeditions to places including Darwin and New Guinea. Dodd quickly became a prominent entomologist, acquiring a large insect collection and has many species named after him. His two daughters Elizabeth Frances (1903-1995) and Katharine Mary (1907-1995) and four sons all followed in his footsteps. Forty cases of specimens from Dodd's personal collection were donated to the Queensland Museum by his daughters. Specimens supplied to overseas collectors (including Walter Rothschild) are now in the Natural History Museum, London, and constitute one of the most important collections of Australian insects outside Australia. The stonefly genus Doddsia (family Taeniopterygidae) was named in his honour. 1899 1899 Life event - Moved to Townsville, Queensland, from Brisbane 1904 1904 Life event - Moved to Kuranda, Queensland 1908 1909 Career position - Collecting expedition to Darwin 1910 1911 Career position - Collecting expedition (six months) to Herberton 1917 1917 Career position - Collecting expedition (five months) to New Guinea Franzen, Ludvig (1879 - 1945) Dodd, Alan Parkhurst (1896 - 1981)
