Collect as in create a meadow at home for them , or collect as in pinning them to a trophy board and displaying your kills ?

Same question. I have my bil here who used to do it in the 50s and 60s - but he has moved on to photographing them - a lot better for all involved.

Probably not allowed anyway... How would you be sure they weren't nearly extinct ones...
Trying to get a good "shot" with a camera is much more satisfying for your hunter/killer instincts! It takes a bit of skill and patience too.  | | This user would like to thank mabern for this useful post: | |

Cheers | | | | | It looks as though you have your answer. In any case, if you are hoping to embark on a scientific project, I assume that whoever is sponsoring you would have the relevant information.

Get in touch with Head Office of WWF in Gland Vaud - they'll be able to tell you the definite answer.

Personally I think it's revolting to pin butterflies. And what exact scientific meaning has this?
We are not speaking about the chimps in labs.

Swiss butterflies have all been recorded already- and the information is available for you to study, I'm sure.

I kill flies for pleasure.
What's the difference, apart from sentimentality?

Is our condemnation of TheAndy's hobby merely aesthetic, or is there a moral element to it?

Seriously, no need to kill anything. Life is life. Am barely over my veggy days. Killing to live is one thing, killing needlessly, why ?
