Dr. Clare Baltazar is recognized for her contributions on the research on Philippine insects. Her discovery of the Philippine-endemic Hymenoptera species is important for biological insect control applications. Dr. Baltazar published a book on Philippine Insects is the first reliable book on Philippine insects. Discoveries of 8 and one subgenus of Hymenoptera and 108 new species of the Philippine parasitic Wasp's are Dr. Baltazar other important contributions to Science. Dr. Baltazar is well renowned here and out of the country. She accepted the Rizal Pro Patria Award in Entomology in 1980.
