Note 1. Georges Brossard One man had a dream and now this dream is a reality. The Montreal Insectarium's entomological collections are viewed and enjoyed by over 400,000 people a year. Georges Brossard left his job as an attorney to travel around the world and pursue his interest in insects. He was responsible for the creation of the Montreal Insectarium and has been mandated by the Audobon Organization to create an insectarium in New Orleans. (The Insectia web page has more information.) His vision is to make insects interesting to everyday people, including children. http://www2.ville.montreal.qc.ca/insectarium/en/index.php. Georges Brossard is the entomologist that is portrayed in "The Blue Butterfly" movie. He took a young boy with cancer to the jungle to find the Blue Morpho butterfly, to fulfill his dream. The boy's cancer was completely cured, to the amazement of the doctors that had given him a few months to live. (Click HERE for more.) Note 2.
