THE EPHEMERAL CARROUSEL

In French Guiana of 1899, Eugène Le Moult, young blasé, enjoyed a really bad reputation.

It's now been a year in which he's been watching others work. He is the shame of his family.
On the other hand, his dad did everything to secure a nice future for him. But nothing interests him. He's a real loafer, that is what he is.

One Spring day, on the banks of the Maroni river, Eugène is bored, as usual...

When...

He suddenly notices a superb blue Morpho...

That's surely a Morpho, that legendary butterfly of which science only has two specimens...

THAT'S IT! I'VE GOT IT!

It's wings have a wonderful sparkle!...

But as Le Moult handles the insect in the sun, a new Morpho appears, attracted by the sparkle of its kin ...

It's caught! And a further 26 times, blue butterflies emerge, and let themselves be grabbed.
I've found the system! Just get the wings to sparkle in the sun and they all come flying ...

In a day his vocation was born. He would be a butterfly hunter. Tomorrow the mysterious world of those short-lived beings would be his. How many were concealed in the immense forest that stretched out at his feet?

Thus, began an extraordinary career for Le Moult. It's an exhilarating hunt that takes many of skills. Tracking a butterfly is not easy. It's a continuous effort, much climbing, a perpetual race to take down an insect that changes direction as often as terrain. In the tropics, this hunt is dangerous, because you have to face the virgin forest unarmed. Le Moult experienced this first-hand.

Thus Eugène, in pursuit of a large Ornithopera came to feel the strongest emotion of his life ...
