Bert found his love early in life．When he was around 4 or 5，he always loved to watch different insects，especially beautiful swallowtails (凤蝶)．One interesting fact he learned about swallowtails was that their bright colors warned hungry animals that they tasted bad．And it was also fun to watch how they came into being．But the reason he really fell in love with them was that they were very accessible．For example，if you wanted to attract (吸引) swallowtails，you planted some zinnias，a kind of bright flowers．
Bert started a zinnia garden at his house，where he raised a large number of swallowtails over the years．With the world's swallowtail population falling，Bert wanted people to realize that if insects like swallowtails disappeared，so would all the others above them on the food chain．To make the fact clear and easy to understand for other students，he also created a zinnia garden at his junior high school．
Part of the joy for Bert was watching the younger students get excited when running after swallowtails．“Whenever a swallowtail lands on them，the young students will soon fall in love with these cute insects．They develop a new appreciation for them，” he said．
Bert put his efforts into the environmental educational project and made it more popular．
