Back in the old days, lots of kids collected moths and butterflies as a hobby or science project. There were lots of them: monarchs, swallowtails, cabbage, spicebush, and many more.........too many to mention by name. There were special butterfly nets manufactured back then. The trick was to stand very still around a flower bed and wait for a butterfly or moth that you wanted flew up to feed. Then is a fast sweeping motion try to catch the critter in the net. It wasn't as easy as it sounds. There was a lot more trying than catching.
