Butterfly Events 2012/13--Save the Dates!
October 13 - 14, ButterflyFest 2012, Florida Museum of Natural
History, 10 - 5 both days.
Needed: people to turn folks on to butterflies! That is, I need people to staff an info
table for our butterfly chapter. I have someone for 10 - 2 on Saturday. A second person is
needed to help her. Then I need two people for Saturday afternoon, 2 - 5, and two people
for those same time slots on Sunday. Beginners welcome...we will supply info. If more
people volunteer, we can reduce the durations of the shifts.
Please email me by Sept. 20 if you CAN help. I need to let the museum know what our plans
are. http://www.flmnh.ufl.edu/butterflyfest/

OBSERVING, PHOTOGRAPHING, AND LOCATING BUTTERFLY SITES IN SICHUAN AND YUNNAN
PROVINCES IN CHINA
Join Bill in Chengdu (home of the Giant Panda Breeding and Research Center) as our group
travels in three Toyota Landcruisers for a three-week trip heading west towards the
eastern limits of the Tibetan plateau.
Our journey will take us from subtropical valleys, through deep and lushly-forested
temperate valleys carved out by the Yangtze and Mekong rivers, to alpine meadows,
glaciers, and passes up to 15,450 ft. leading to the Tibetan Plateau.
Butterflies were photographed at elevations of 3,200 to 13,440 ft.
Bill is a Certified Gemologist Appraiser of the American Gem Society and owner of Berthet
Jewelers for almost 30 years in Jacksonville.
His passion for photographing butterflies has taken him to 8 States in Mexico, Central and
South America, and the Chinese provinces of Yunnan and Sichuan.
