Documentation of Butterfly Evolution


Here is an interesting article
http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/01/science/01butterfly.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1
about the "lay" scientific work of the famous novelist Vladimir Nabokov on the evolution of a particular species of butterflies.  His speculations have been vindicated by DNA testing years after his work, which had to that point been gently thought of as thorough but not as "truly" scientific as "the pros."
