EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph showcases a mounted specimen of the Methona (Patia) orise, also formerly known as the Leptalis orise, a beautiful Bates butterfly. Collected in the late 19th century from the Tapajos region of the Amazon rainforest, this orange and black-patterned insect is a prime example of the intricate beauty found within the Lepidopteran order of the Arthropoda class. Butterflies, as part of the Insecta class and the Hexapoda subclass, are invertebrate animals characterized by their six legs and three body segments. The Bates butterfly, named after the renowned English naturalist Henry Walter Bates, is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the Amazon rainforest, which was extensively explored and documented during the 19th century. Bates, an influential figure in the field of natural history, was known for his groundbreaking work on the mimicry and camouflage of butterflies. This specimen, with its vibrant colors and intricate patterns, is a testament to the captivating allure of these creatures and the importance of preserving them for future generations to study and appreciate. The photograph, taken in the 1800s, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the natural world as it existed over a century ago. The meticulously preserved specimen, with its wings spread wide, showcases the delicate beauty and intricacy of the Bates butterfly, a true marvel of the natural world.
