The Art and Study of Butterflies

The Art and Study of Butterflies*

"If you smile when you see a butterfly, 

you have happiness in your soul," - Diana Cooper

The Art and Study of Butterflies, specimens mounted on acrylic 

by AV Rotor 2025  

Simulate the creatures in their own setting

in make-believe fine art

 as natural as when you found them resting,

and they shall never depart,

 And they'll live of the wall for people to see,

 admire, study part by part,

making entomology easy and lovely for all,

in the magic of science and art.

*Butterflies inspire transformation, beauty, freedom, and the delicate balance of life. They are often used as symbols of hope, change, and the ability to overcome adversity. Specimens were found at the Living with Nature botanical garden, San Vicente, Ilocos Sur.

They belong to the swallowtail and Papilio group, Family Lepidoptera. ~
