Carefully catch butterflies with the butterfly-shaped net, gently encourage them into the portable viewing device then examine them with the magnifying glass. Make sure you release butterflies when you have completed your research. Butterflies’ wings are delicate - to give them the best chance of survival it is best not to handle them.
