Butterfly wings

Jennifer Evans, 5 June 2013

This is just one of the many reasons I love being a librarian; opening a recently catalogued donation [published 1930] to find these beautiful butterfly wings pressed between the pages! Who knows how long they have nestled there undisturbed?

I have a framed collection of butterflies that to my knowledge has been in the family over 70 years.I do not know if they are foreign or not. I am interested in giving it to the museum as no other family member wants it.I can forward a photo if necessary.
