Butterfly specimen is a kind of art in nature, which is not only the important data of scientific research, but also the object of cultural appreciation. They attract the attention of countless observers with a variety of colorful and delicate forms. The butterfly's life cycle is fascinating. From egg to larva to pupa to dancing adult, every stage contains the miracle of life.
The process of preparing butterflies requires not only careful observation and patient skills, but also a reverence and love for nature. While catching butterflies, it is necessary to follow the principle of ecological balance to protect the habitat environment and population survival of butterflies.

The common way is to fix the butterfly in a special specimen box, with cork boards to shape it, so that its wings show the most beautiful posture when they are spread out. Subsequently, information such as the species, location and time of capture can be recorded by labeling, thus providing a basis for future scientific research.
Specimens are not only used as scientific research materials, but also widely used in decorative arts. In the exhibition, a variety of butterfly specimens with its unique form and color interwoven into a bright picture, bringing visual shock to the audience. In addition, butterfly specimens are often used in educational institutions to help students understand the diversity of ecosystems and the importance of protecting the environment.
