Siproeta Stelenes - Nymphalinae

"Well, I think we live with words. We look at the world around us and we classify everything. If you can see things without words - I mean when this came to me strongly is, a very amazing fly, not just like a housefly but it had golden bristles and red eyes and golden wings, and it landed on my finger. I'm looking at this thing and I thought, "A fly," and then I thought, "But look at it." If you take away the word 'fly', you get this incredible creature which is part of the whole tapestry and interwoven web of life. Magic. We just - it's a fly, and I realised how we destroy a lot of the magic in the world by always wanting to label everything. We can't help it. We just put things in boxes and then we don't sometimes see the magic." Dr. Jane Goodall. Interview with Andrew Denton. ABC TV.
