This exhibition is composed of Prologue, Presents of Nature, Time Capsule, Beauty of Nature, and Epilogue. Many collections make their debut: The type specimen of Lichnomesopsyche from Myanmar shows an elegant posture and complete and clear physical features. The Mexican Dumpy Frog is vivid, complete, and beautiful. The Butterfly Amber perfectly preserves the appearance of the ancient butterfly in its life.
