Quoted In the jungles of India and
Africa 1t is also as full of adventure
and narrow escapes as tiger hunting or
gold mining. The butterflies OF our
fields and woods are. of course. too
common to have any value, but there
arefvery rare varieties that will bring
as high as $1,000 a specimen, and 1t Ia
to catch these that men undertake all
manner of risks. Before a man can
attempt butterfly hunting he must have
a thorough scientific education, and
then he can go to Africa. and by col.
lecting lizards and orchids and rare
plants along with the butterflies he can
often make very large sums of money
In capturing butterflies in the jungle
the collector often has to climb tree'
where there are poisonous insects ant
snakes and sit very quietly with hi
long net In hand and wait for the AT
pearance of some beautiful butterfly
Then he must carefully scoop 1t In
