He was a member of the Alpine Club, where he regularly exhibited his paintings.[2]. Two of his paintings were exhibited at the Paris Salon 1928. Wyatt was briefly married and had a daughter. He was probably bisexual and an article citing the many butterflies identifed and named after him doubles as an appreciation of his life, describing him as a lonely man. [3]. Wyatt lived mostly in Farnham, Surrey, UK but became a naturalised Canadian citizen. He died in a plane crash in a remote part of Guatemala on 19th December 1975, a few days after successfully climbing Pacaya volcano, in an attempt to investigate a newly discovered archaeological site. At his death he left a butterfly collection of 90,000 specimens, mostly now deposited in the Zoologische Staatssammlung in Munich.[4] |
