The Butterfly Museum of Catalonia has been studying, from the first moment on its opening date in July 2002, the area of the Bailiwick of Sort, where the museum is set. In this not-so-extensive area we have discovered more than a hundred daytime butterflies of about the two hundred ones living in Catalonia. To spread this information, the“Route of the butterflies” has been organised to see the majority of them flying, each in its time and proper place. To inform visitors, there are signposts and information stand with indications about ten species and indications of the habitats, time and nutritional plants.

It is a first step to spread knowledge about the world of nature and its relationships, starting from butterflies and insects, playing an essential role in natural processes encouraging life in the planet. These are an exceptional, natural and didactic complement to the facts about butterflies and insects, their relation to plants and to other animals, including humans, which will be found in the information and examples exhibited in the Museum.

This is another incentive to visit the area and the Butterfly Museum of Catalonia, with the certainty that, when leaving and seeing the richness around us, we will be able to understand more about biodiversity, understanding how and why they work as they do, why we have to respect it.
