Butterfly museum becomes way of life for family

Collector turned a hobby into his career with the help of his wife and daughter

Anyone who accidentally walks into the two bungalows at the corner of Moon Lake Park in Wuhan will have their breath taken away by the huge array of colorful butterfly specimens that adorn the walls.

Chen Anming, founder of the butterfly museum, the first of its kind in Hubei province, usually stands aside, quietly watching as people marvel at the 100,000 specimens on display. But if approached by anyone who wants to know the stories behind his treasures, he is only too pleased to tell them.
