Orphaned of his father, Amyot collected for a rich "man of commerce" who was a friend of the entomologist Jean Guillaume Audinet-Serville (1775-1858) who also became Amyot’s friend. Audinet-Serville advised him to specialize on the Hemiptera then forsaken by specialists. Amyot became a lawyer in 1822, but continued his entomological work. Although president of the Société entomologique de France, he controversially promoted his "classification monomynique" to the point where the members of the society condemned him to never become a "membre d’honneur". Amyot was also interested in applied entomology devoted several publications to harmful insects and the means of fighting them.
