The ATBE

(Association of Type B Metamorphosis Entomologists)

Overview

The Association of Type B Metamorphosis Entomologists (ATBE) is the largest organization in the world serving the professional and scientific needs of Type B metamorphosis entomologists. Founded in 1972, about a half century after the first Type B was found in Holland, the association has been contributing greatly to the understanding of these mysterious plant-like stages of insect mutation. Diverse reports of Type B metamorphosis have appeared since then. In spite of numerous reports from around the world, most parts of the Type B metamorphosis ecology are still unknown. According to the latest report, 46 spices of butterfly are probable to develop to Type B metamorphosis, but it is still not clear how many of the insects manifest the mutation.
In 1985, the study of Fungus Caterpillar were also added to the ATBE's mission due to the decipherment of Egyptian Hieroglyph. The new study gave an account that one of untranslated Cursive hieroglyph could represent "Fungus caterpillar". This indicates the usage of it in ancient Egyptian medicine.
Following attentive resarch, these two very similar mutations are resolved to be both classified to Animalia (Insecta) rather than to Platae or Fungi. The actual samples of fungus caterpillars are fewer than Type B exemplifications. Today, still the study of Type B Metamorphosis and fungus caterpillar obtains very limited recognition. ATBE encourages all entomologists and others interested in furthering the development of Type B study join the association and work with the international network. Annual participation is open to individuals and institutions worldwide.

 

This whole Type B metamorphosis and fungus caterpillar are my creation. When I look at plants and insects, I cannot help but think that it must be happening somewhere in the world, we just don’t know. I created the “Monarch butterfly Type B Metamorphosis life span” painting which made me believe in its existence more than ever. So, I take this whole creation of mine very seriously. My friend helped me a lot on the writing, and both of us know very little about entomology. Actually, we had a fun making rather strange creation, but I become consumed by it more and more. My imagination flies up to the sky like a butterfly and brings it with a new idea! I just want to say many thanks to my friend for his patience and time.
I hope you enjoy my creation. Also, if you have any suggestions, I would be very happy to hear about it. Feel free to contact me.

Thanks again, visiting my site.
