China butterflies and lepidopterists??

[Jorge Bizarro]

Mike

I was at the XXI international Congress of Entomology in Beijing and I
remember perfectly that a brochure was distributed with a directory of all
institutions and main entomologists in Mainlaind China... I don't have it at
hand, but I can take a look after if you want so.
There is a butterfly farm in Yunnan, set up by M. Parsons. I don't know if
it's still working but some time ago they had a web site featuring pert of
it.

greetings

Jorge

Does anyone know of contacts in the Beijing area on Chinese butterflies,
host plants, or butterfly gardens?.
