点评:We are visiting from the US, and came to the butterfly sanctuary a few days ago. It has been one of the highlights of our vacation! What an amazing place for someone like myself, who is interested in biology. We were the only visitors at the time. It is such a beautiful location, with many plants in a gorgeous garden. We were touring around and just about to leave when we were lucky enough that Ma'am Humaida A. Jumalon came home and we were able to visit with her for quite a while. What an absolute treasure! Cebu really should support this important institution. We purchased both books, the art book and the butterfly field guide, and made a donation in the collection box where the artworks are kept air-conditioned. I collect local biology field guides in the US, but it's so hard to find field guides for the Philippines, so I am eternally gratefull for her contributions. I encourage you all to go visit the sanctuary and see the incredible collection of butterfly specimens and the amazing art works made from damaged butterfly wings and please make a donation to support their work. The art work really surprised me, it's amazing to think of how much tedious work he must have done to create such beatiful works of art with no fan or A/C which would have blown the delicate butterfly wings away while he worked.
翻译:我们是从美国来的游客,几天前来到了这座蝴蝶保护区。这里可谓是我们此次度假的亮点之一!对于像我这样对生物学感兴趣的人来说,这真是个绝佳的地方。当时只有我们两个游客。这里环境优美,花园里种满了各种各样的植物。我们正在四处游览,正准备离开时,很幸运地遇到了胡迈达·A·朱马隆女士回家,于是我们得以与她畅谈许久。真是无价之宝啊!宿务真的应该大力支持这家重要的机构。我们买下了那本艺术画册和蝴蝶图鉴两本书,还在摆放着艺术品的空调房间里向捐赠箱捐了款。我在美国收集本地的生物图鉴,但要找到关于菲律宾的图鉴实在太难了,因此对她所做的贡献我感激不尽。我欢迎大家去参观这座保护区,欣赏那里收藏的大量蝴蝶标本,以及用破损的蝴蝶翅膀制作而成的精美艺术品。也请大家慷慨捐款以支持他们的工作。那些艺术品真的令我惊叹不已——想想看,创作者必须在没有风扇或空调的环境下,历经无数繁琐工序才能创作出如此精美的作品,因为任何一点气流都可能吹走那些脆弱的蝴蝶翅膀啊。
