When I was younger I was fascinated with butterfly collections -- I don't know if I'm *all* in for entomology, but I understand the interest.
That's very cool! Entomology is the science and study of insects. Did you have a personal collection?
No -- I think I disconnected from the fact the butterflies may have been *killed*, you know what I mean?! THAT part felt a little selfish, just for the sake of collection.
I'm sure it required a disconnect as butterflies are beautiful with large and brightly colored wings.
Yes, the variety is stunning. We lived in Hong Kong once upon a time, and I remember seeing *huge* brightly colored butterflies and smaller ones that I loved for their cobalt blue wings.

Butterflies have the typical four-stage insect life cycle. Winged adults lay eggs on the food plant on which their larvae, known as caterpillars, will feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimes very rapidly, and when fully developed, pupate in a chrysalis. When metamorphosis is complete, the pupal skin splits, the adult insect climbs out, and after its wings have expanded and dried, it flies off. Some butterflies, especially in the tropics, have several generations in a year, while others have a single generation
