We did something similar a few years back and I found it thrilling to be holding specimen's collected on the Challenger expedition. (And I supported my graduate studies by helping to reclassify the Aggasiz collection on this side of the Atlantic). Breathing in th history was wonderful. If your going south - complete th pilgrimage with a visit to Down House. Best, L Miles:

The beetle collection at the Natural History Museum must be something to behold.... colours galore but there's nothing like seeing them in the wild, walking jewellery. Cid p.s. I shall be looking into 'pronotums' and endeavouring to include it in a conversation this week :) Miles,

Great shot as well - I do like these posts Best Rod Miles,
