Excerpt from Fragrant Butterflies

There are two reasons why we know so little of the odors of our butterﬂies. In the first place, most people interested in the butter ﬂies regard them more as natural works of art than as the insects that they are, and therefore pay but slight attention to anything further than the form and color and the seasonal occurrence and general habits of the adults.

In the second place the adult nose is a quite uncertain organ, especially in men, and the testing of a butterﬂy often results in nothing more than a fit of sneezing caused by the irritation of the loosened scales.
