Among the oldest treasures are a 1774 specimen of Orgyia antiqua, and a 1833 Apollo butterfly 🦋 from subspecies that no longer exists. More than a scientific archive, these collections are a cultural heritage—an irreplaceable window into the past, inspiring research 🧑🔬, education 👩🏫 and wonder.

It was great to be there and collect Lepidoptera in the Italian Alps for @projectpsyche.bsky.social @10klepgenomes.bsky.social, and it's amazing to see it once again through the stunning photos by Luigi Avantaggio in Glenn Zorpette's article in @spectrum.ieee.org 👇
In July, our reporter traveled to the Italian Alps and to Barcelona, Spain, to observe researchers capturing moths and butterflies and then sequencing their genomes. It was all part of the most ambitious biology project ever: to sequence every species on Earth.
