My Butterfly Notebook

IT'S ALL ABOUT butterflies here ... In this section, you'll find write-ups and even poems about butterflies, accounts of encounters with rare or not-so-rare species, descriptions of the life history or other aspects of the biology of these insects, and other writings extolling their delicate beauty. Simon Chan Kee Mun, who lives in Singapore, contributed the first article to this section. His article, From the diary of a heartbroken surrogate father, was followed by another titled Malaysia's very own king of butterflies, and a couple of poems. You can see a list of the writings on the right. Click on a title to read the article, which will open in a new window. Close the new window to return to this page.
