I started off looking into how butterflies were used in the Victorian period, from how they were displayed, to how they were used in objects to create individual pieces such as trays and brooches. Other, more scientific collections were pinned in groups so that they are easy to view and compare.
I also visited the Grant Museum of Zoology, where they had a few butterflies and moths pinned and displayed in small boxes, as it was a very small collection, most of which were encased in different boxes, varying in size and material.
