a caterpillar feeding on the orchid was bred up and produced 

 the male. This butterfly may be described as rare, but is 

 probably common enough 150 feet above ground amongst 

 the tree-tops, where only the orchid grows. This is another 

 instance of an insect being apparently rare, while, if looked 

 for in the proper place, it would probably be taken commonly 

 enough.
