Walking the High Ridge

Life as Field Trip


BY Robert Michael Pyle

As a naturalist, ecologist, and butterfly enthusiast, Robert Michael Pyle has tried to live a life inspired, interestingly, by the words of Vladimir Nabokov, who also loved butterflies and believed that there must exist”a high ridge where the mountainside of scientific knowledge joins the opposite slope of artistic imagination," where”the precision of poetry and the art of science" can meet.

Best known for his work with butterflies, Pyle has crafted a life that allows him to spend as much time as possible being outside, working alone, making his individual effort.
