Thirty-six of the 17,500 species of butterflies in the world are displayed in a colorful array in this work. Some have stripes. Some wings are pointed. Some are brilliantly colored while others are drab. "With all this variety," Matz reflects, "it’s apparent that God rejoices in diversity!"
"There is such a multitude of variety in trees and flowers, fruits and vegetables, insects, animals, and even humans."
