English national Colin Philip Smith has committed 45 years of his life to contemplating butterflies in Nepal. Today, at 75 years old, he has a similar interest and energy in his work that he had when he initially began. Throughout the years, Smith traversed 40 regions of Nepal and gathered 25,000 butterflies. He went to numerous parts of the nation by walking as engine transport was not accessible at that point. Numerous butterflies that he gathered from various parts of Nepal are shown at the Natural History Museum in Swoyambu, Kathmandu; the Annapurna Butterfly Museum at Prithvi Narayan Campus in Pokhara; the Kathmanu University in Dhulikhel and a historical center in the UK.
