Hi, I'm Ming-Luen Jeng. I study insects like beetles and butterflies. I work at the National Museum of Natural Science in Taiwan . I participated in the planning of an exhibition to help people learn about butterflies.
Find out why I'm fascinated by these fluttering insects!
Take a closer look at some of Taiwan's amazing butterflies in this PDF!
