"Beat the British" : this interesting article from Eulalia Gasso doesn't speak about football, where it is now too easy to beat England... but about the competition between Dutch and English Museums in the 19th century to discover new butterfly species.

Very interesting. I heard of the arms race but never that concerning butterflies. I have been reading about Bates, he was finding up to five new species of butterflies during September 1855 each day!!
