Butterfly specimens are a unique and fascinating collection that not only shows the beauty of nature, but also the importance of scientific research. As a kind of insect, butterflies attract the attention of countless people with their brilliant colors and various exquisite forms. Making butterfly specimens is not only an artistic activity, but also an exploration of ecology and biodiversity.

The process of preparing butterflies requires meticulous patience. First of all, butterflies need to be captured in accordance with ecological ethics, as far as possible to select renewable species, and comply with relevant regulations. After capture, the butterfly needs to be treated immediately to prevent wing deformation or color loss. The common method is to put it in a freezer and fix it after it sleeps.

The fixation of butterfly specimens is usually done using nails or special specimen plates that ensure the wings unfold and maintain their shape. Then, after a certain period of drying, the butterfly specimen is completed. Labeling and classification are also important steps in the preparation of specimens. The location, time and related information of each specimen should be recorded to facilitate future research and comparison.

Butterfly specimens not only have important applications in the study of natural sciences, they are also educational and aesthetic media. Many schools and museums display butterfly specimens to make the public more aware of the importance and fragility of ecosystems. When children observe these specimens, they can stimulate their curiosity and desire to explore nature, thus promoting their learning of biology, environmental science and other related knowledge.
