About this blog

During my dragonfly trips (my number one hobby, http://vietodonata.blogspot.com/), I am always actively aware of butterflies, and tried to photograph (and sometimes collect) specimens as much as possible. I am by no means an expert on Vietnam's butterflies, but I try my best to identify the species I encounter.

There are over 1100 Rhopalocera species currently known from Vietnam. This diversity makes butterfly watching in Vietnam both rewarding and challenging.

I hope that the more people who see the beauty of these fascinating creatures, the more it will lead to an appreciation that we need to be more pro-active in protecting them against the actions of humans that seem to only be concerned with "development" and monetary profit.

Welcome to my blog which is a diary of my sightings mostly around Hanoi (Ba Vi, Tam Dao and Cuc Phuong National Parks).

"Beautiful and graceful, varied and enchanting, small but approachable, butterflies lead you to the sunny side of life. And everyone deserves a little sunshine." Jeffery Glassberg

"I belong to the forest and to solitude." — Knut Hamsun, Pan.
