ALL of our butterfly paintings are also exhibited
on the website of the Life Science Museum of Academia Sinica, Taiwan.
The online information is available in both Chinese and English.
Welcome to check it out.

We are also excited to let you know that
we also host programs
on butterfly ecology and pollination
for curious people beyond 8 years old
to learn about the butterfly world and
discover how we can regenerate ecosystems together.

Recently, we've hosted some programs on butterflies:
Mar. 26, 2023
Purple butterfly festival, Linnei, Taiwan

Feb. 5, 2022
Anita Purves Nature Center,
Crystal Lake Park, Champaign, IL, USA

Mar. 22, 2022
Community Center of Orchard Downs,
Champaign, IL, USA

***Volunteer with us!***

Since 2017,
we've used the butterfly pictures to host
many butterfly programs in elementary schools, libraries,
and community centers to promote
eco-conservation and human-wildlife co-existence.

Registration for our butterfly program

Join our eco-edutaining workshops on butterfly ecology.
We’ll provide new volunteers with individual orientations
to interact actively and positively with children as well as adults
using our game-driven learning materials.

As a volunteer, you will learn about the butterfly world,
eco-friendly gardening, and interpersonal skills,
and we appreciate your participation as an invaluable part of
preserving natural and cultural resources for generations to come.

To be a volunteer sharing your passion with others,
please send an e-mail to:

Our eco-art exhibits in schools and museums
aim to inspire children as well as adults to understand
the ecology of butterflies, which are placed biologically
at the bottom of the nature’s food chain in the larval stage,
providing food for other creatures like
bees, mantis, lizards, and birds, for a bio-diverse eco-system.

Less than 5% of the larvae can grow up to their full life cycles.
If they survive after eclosion, butterflies become delightful pollinators in gardens.

Enjoy!
