歡迎看畫賞蝶
Welcome to the exhibition of butterfly-watching
paintings.
Let's appreciate the beauty of nature and cherish our planet.
《蝴蝶精靈，請問你最喜歡什麼花蜜呢？》
Butterfly elf, what's your favorite nectar?
蝴蝶訪花，但哪些是牠們比較喜歡的花朵呢？
此次展覽結合數位藝術以及蝴蝶生態，
呈現20幅蝴蝶喜歡的蜜源植物，
包括馬利筋、繁星花、冇骨消、醉嬌花和高山藤繡球等，
花朵上也有臺灣的特有種蝴蝶妝點圖畫，
如曙鳳蝶、寬尾鳳蝶和升天鳳蝶等
Butterflies visit flowers, but which ones do they prefer?
This exhibition combines digital art and butterfly ecology,
presenting 20 images of nectar plants that butterflies like the most.
These pictures are the illustrations of the upcoming ecology picture book,
"Butterfly Elf, What’s Your Favorite Nectar?",
to be published next year. The artwork includes
illustrations of milkweeds, star clusters, and kawakami hydrangea,
along with butterflies native to Taiwan and the U.S., such as the monarch,
tiger swallowtail, old world swallowtail, and zebra swallowtail.
“In these times of global warming and ecological disaster,
teaching children about nature is more important than ever,”
said the artist James H. Yang. “This project is
my personal contribution to help bring awareness
to our plight.” He aims to promote butterfly pollination
and ecological conservation through his project.
希望透過此次的生態藝術展覽與交流活動，
我們一起分享大自然的奧妙，共同守護我們的生態環境。
Through this ecological art exhibition and exchange activities,
we hope to share the wonders of nature and join hands
in protecting our ecological environment.

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.
***Volunteer with us!***
Since 2017,
we've used the butterfly pictures to host
many butterfly programs in 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!
