My First Butterfly Collections

I have noticed that there are just a hand full of blogs on butterflies, especially in Malaysia. So i decided to add my own collections here to complement the existing ones.  I have been an avid bird watcher for many years now and during my outings in the jungle i have often encountered many fascinating butterflies along the trails. I have told myself that one day i will eventually be a butterfly watcher and the day has finally came.

Butterfly watching are just like bird watching. There are certain butterflies which would not allow you to get close to them while some are very rare and difficult to see. There are also ways to entice the butterflies to come out in the open like what some photographers have done though i am not sure it is a right thing to do - ethically i mean. Butterflies do come in many shades, sizes and varieties as well. However the only pertinent difference would be that butterflies do not migrate as far as birds do.
