Nature lover Fang Qiaoran took a trip to a forest park in her city, Shenzhen, in southern China's Guangdong Province, and she discovered a world of butterflies.
They include Cyrestis thyodamas, or more commonly known as the common map butterfly as the net-like patterns on their wings resemble a map; Graphium sarpedon, or the common bluebottle with blue spots lined up as a triangle on their wings, among others.
Here is her collection:
