These remind me so much of butterflies pressed in a book I helped transcribe with the Smithsonian Transcription Center called "Butterflies collected in the Shire Valley, East Africa". You can see the book in @biodivlibrary.bsky.social www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography...

If I can't find something I need in the Biodiversity Heritage Library, it's not available to me. Paywalls for 75-year-old papers are still a thing, sadly.

Clicking on it reveals that it's available in high resolution and under public domain. ♥️

And so I have my image without paying a dime to a stock image side, and instead, can use the money to donate to the Biodiversity Heritage Library!

We would have been astounded at his age if we had had all the opportunities for exploration… internet archive, biodiversity heritage library, etc. Whole volumes of ancient reference texts downloadable. .
