Oh To Be A Naturalist...

I would treasure an insect collect the caliber of those displayed in natural history museums or even one or two select specimens however I couldn't bare to kill so many beautiful creatures, especially those with lives so fleeting. Thus I  have devised something in the way of an alternative; paper butterflies. Cut from leftover pages of magazines I have already scavenged, I can produce an almost inexhaustible supply of pseudo-butterflies for my collection. It may not be quite the same and certainly up close doesn't hold the same appeal as the true specimens but on mass they are magnificent; particularly as they flutter in the breeze.
Now, what to do about the beetles?
