Robert Michael Pyle is the author of the Handbook for Butterfly Watchers and 
has contributed to several butterfly field guides. I'd be curious to hear what 
others on this list think about collecting butterflies. The butterfly part is 
near the end but it's best to read the entire article.

I don't think it's fair to ask for opinions without giving mine first so here 
it goes. I feel it's OK to collect specimens for valid research projects, 
especially with common species. I don't like the idea of killing butterflies or 
anything really, just to collect them or put them on personal display.
