Looking at where he is going to speak, it is easy to see that poirier
is just another clueless fundie speaking about something that he has
little or no understanding. An engineer speaking about biology.

Now, give his areas of work and study above, how does any of this imply
that he knows enough about the evolutionary history of insecets, or even
butterflies, to make any kind of statement about them?
