Thank you, Guy. Nice concept, but I think it will never happen - for two reasons:
1. In one of Darwin's neglected papers,
Lepidopterists can't be funny (and ornithologists never will be), he cites a particularly chronic form of stage-fright, apparently prevalent amongst lepidopterists:
butterflies in the stomach.
2. It took me 24 hours to think of that!
