Butterflies are part of the class of insects in the order Lepidoptera, along with moths. But, unlike moths, which are often considered to be pests, butterflies seem to have a special appeal because of their beautiful coloration and delicate physiology. Salidan Hannelore Gabriel will talk about the evolution, life cycle, families and ecology of central Colorado butterflies, illustrated with her numerous photos.
Hannelore Gabriel pursued a career in jewelry design. Her professional and photography interests led to research on the anthropology, iconography, and metal-smithing of Nepal resulting in her book The Jewelry of Nepal. Butterflies, the jewels of nature, are her current photographic focus combined with the study of Lepidoptera after a life-long interest in butterflies.
