Stefan Friedrich Wirth ist ein freischaffender deutscher Biologe, Zoologe, Evolutionsbiologe und Acarologe, der jedoch durch Geburt auch über italienische Wurzeln verfügt.  Er lebt in Berlin.

– Geboren 1972 im Südwesten Deutschlands.

– Studium an der FU Berlin 1994-2000

– Promotion an der FU Berlin 2000-2004

– Ab 2004 bis heute: Forschung (bis 2014 auch Lehre an der FU Berlin) in den Bereichen Systematik, Evolution und Ökologie der Milben (am Beispiel bestimmter Milben aus der Gruppe der Astigmata) in Kooperation mit diversen internationalen Forschungseinrichtungen, sowie Videografie/ Makro-Videographie für künstlerisch-dokumentarische Zwecke, z.B. als Beiträge zu den Dokumentarfilmen „Voyage sous nos pieds“ des französischen Regisseurs Vincent Amouroux, die 2016 auf dem französisch-deutschen Fernsehsender „arte“ ausgestrahlt wurden.
