But­ter­flies live almost every­where on earth where there are plants. In our lat­i­tudes they love sun, warmth and diverse and flow­ery veg­e­ta­tion. In Cen­tral Europe, but­ter­flies usu­al­ly inhab­it open areas such as mead­ows and pas­tures, but also clear­ings and for­est edges. Many but­ter­flies are not only beau­ti­ful, they also have an impor­tant role in nature. The experts Prof. Dr. Thomas Schmitt and Dr. Mar­tin Wiemers (Senck­en­berg Ger­man Ento­mo­log­i­cal Insti­tute, Müncheberg) con­vey a lot of inter­est­ing infor­ma­tion about the fas­ci­nat­ing world of but­ter­flies in a gen­er­al­ly under­stand­able form. A deter­mi­na­tion book is useful.

The excur­sion is free, but dona­tions are welcome.
