Butterflies started to interest me when working with an associate during 1990's early 2000's, our then Financial Manager was a Lepidopterist with an amazing collection. Having traveled throughout Africa carefully labeling each in his collection.

Stunned by his extensive knowledge and passion I had the privilege of visiting his home while his wife talked of the travels and seeing the gorilla's in the wild up North (in itself super exiting and interesting), he quietly explained so much about this hobby of many years.

I believe his collection is now safely in the hands of Lepidopterists’ Society of Africa where collections such as his are now being curated.
