Darwin's prediction in 1862 was based on the idea
that the orchid and the moth must have evolved together,
and neither could exist without the other.
It was only a matter of time before this hypothetical moth would be found.
Darwin's cause was taken up by Alfred Russel Wallace.
It was so clear to him that it must exist,
that he said it was an absolute certainty
that if people went to Madagascar,
sooner or later they were bound to find this moth.
Wallace published a picture
of what he thought the moth looked like,
a sort of wanted poster for the mystery pollinator.
Darwin's moth was eventually found, but not until 1903,
20 years after Darwin's death.
