[00:00.000]The amazing thing
[00:13.112]is that he didn't seem to mind missing out on all that fame.
[00:16.367]In fact in his letters he actually implies
[00:18.605]he was rather pleased not to have been put in the public eye.
[00:21.611]Perhaps it actually gave him more time
[00:23.620]to work on his extraordinary collection,
[00:25.615]which of course was his real passion.
[00:27.847]He could have been buried in Westminster Abbey
[00:35.021]next to Darwin,
[00:36.017]but his family declined.
[00:37.522]Instead he was buried
[00:38.755]in the local graveyard here in Dorset,
[00:41.273]close to trees and countryside,
[00:43.521]and of course his beloved insects.
[00:46.275]When it came to insects, Wallace was the supreme authority.
[01:06.773]When Darwin confidently predicted
[01:09.014]the existence of a moth that nobody had ever seen before,
[01:11.267]it was Wallace
[01:12.523]who helped him work on his theory.
