Annapurna Butterfly Museum

Annapurna Butterfly Museum is the part of The Annapurna Natural History Museum, but the size of the collection is such that the museum became known as “The Butterfly Museum”.

Almost all of Nepal’s 660 species of butterflies are represented in the Nepal collection. Some are also displayed in different groups to illustrate mimicry, camouflage, and rare and endemic species of Nepal and altitude variations. Beside these butterflies of the Annapurna region are featured with several charts and there is also a chart to show comparisons of Nepal butterfly species with the same species found in other parts of the Palaearctic region.
