Ok, so not much to talk about, but when I was researching artists for a project, I came across 2 different names: Eugene Seguy and Emile-Allain Seguy.

I came across E. A Seguy first, but then I was searching through a website and saw the familiar "Seguy" last name underneath the insects section. So obviously I started thinking "there's no way these 2 aren't related or at least linked in some way" so obviously I searched up Eugene Seguy on my browser, and I see the recurring theme of dragonflies/insects really close together with bizarre colours - similar to E. A Seguy's art.

I was super confused, so I split my window up, one with Eugene and one with E.A's.

Their art was the same.

So, in my situation, one would think that they are the same person, right? The same last name, the same artwork, (this might be a stretch) but the same First inital (E).

To verify my thoughts, I decided to check their DOB and when they died.

Eugene was 1890-1985( 95 years old)
E.A was 1877-1951 ( 74 years old)

There was no way they could be the same person.

So obviously, I searched up the difference between the 2 of them, and I got absolutely nothing, except an AI overview telling me that Eugene was an entomologist and E.A was a designer. At that point i gave up and decided to go to reddit. :)

    Confusion courante modifier

    Émile-Allain Séguy est souvent confondu avec son contemporain Eugène Séguy (1890-1985), un éminent diptérologiste français, également illustrateur d'insectes et auteur du Code universel des couleurs[2],[3]. En témoigne la couverture du magazine scientifique américain FASEB d'avril 2009[4], où E.A. Séguy est nommé Eugène Alain Séguy, où ses dates de naissance et de décès indiquées sont en réalité celles de son homonyme et où leurs œuvres sont complètement entremélées[2]. Habitant à Paris, à proximité l'un de l'autre dans les années 1920, les deux hommes se sont connus et probablement fréquentés à l'occasion de la conception des portfolios sur les insectes publiés en 1928 et 1929
