The Creadora de las Mariposas Cuatro Espejos is a butterfly conservatory, education center and cultural resource in the Mayo pueblo of El Júpare, Huatabampo, Sonora. Read more about the Creadora de las Mariposas Cuatro Espejos.

Four Mirrors (Rothschildia Orizaba) butterflies are large, beautifully decorated nocturnal creatures that are indigenous to Central and Southern Mexico, Central America and South America. They belong to the family of Saturnids, some of the most visually appealing butterflies, and are in the Lepidoptera class, which includes insects and butterflies with scales.

The butterflies have ribbed and symmetrically decorated wings in brown and gold tones, and in each quadrant there is a smooth square that reflects light like a mirror, from which they derive their name.

In the wild, the larva of the Four Mirrors butterflies are threatened by insects like flies and spiders, who lay their eggs in the cocoon a caterpillar has constructed. The parasitic eggs then feed on the protein in the chrysalis, killing the butterfly.

In addition to providing safe habitat for Four Mirrors butterflies, the Creadora de las Mariposas Cuatro Espejos provides a valuable educational resource to local students for nature and cultural learning, as it is a direct connection to the history, traditions, religion and culture of the Yoreme Mayo – its abandoned cocoons are used to create leggings for traditional dancers, and an economic stimulus to artisans and others in this small Southern Sonora agricultural community.

In September of 2016, the butterfly refuge was breached and burglarized. Most of its cocoons were stolen, leaving the facility without the ability to host more butterflies, help propagate the species, provide educational programs or create Tenabaris or other works of art.

Although its physical structure is still in good condition, the Crearadero has not recovered from the theft and has fallen into disarray. Plants that once provided sustenance and shelter to the butterflies have withered and died, and others have become overgrown.

Funding for the original construction of the conservatory was provided by El Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes (Conaculta), Mexico’s federal agency that funds the arts. However, there is no money available to fund the needed tasks to restore the conservatory to functionality, and there are no local resources available to fund such a project.

We believe that this butterfly sanctuary that is so important to the natural environment, religion, culture and economy of this community should be saved – restored and made functional again – and we hope that you do as well.

This campaign is to fund the first and largest phase of the restoration of the Crearadero de las Mariposas Cuatro Espejos butterfly conservatory, which will be accomplished in three phases.

Phase I

The first phase is to prepare the facility for the re-introduction of Rothschildia Orizaba butterflies, to include adding security structures to prevent future break-ins. This phase will be the most costly and labor-intensive of the project, and if we receive enough donations they may be sufficient to accomplish all three phases of the restoration.

It includes: consultation with a plant scientist to plan the restoration of the habitat and implement safeguards to prevent the entry of natural predators and hazards; clean the facility to remove dead plants, trim existing plants and add new plants; add an exterior perimeter security fence; and patch and repair holes in the exterior fabric.

Phase II

When the facility is ready, the second phase will be the reintroduction of the butterflies to the site by transplanting butterfly eggs.

Phase III

And the third phase is the full operation of the conservatory, to include maintenance and additional security. The goal is to make the facility self-sustaining at some point in the near future, but in the immediate time after the conservatory enters operational phase there will be a need for resources to fund services (maintenance, horticulturalist, security) and supplies.

We will report on the progress of the project, and if you have any questions or would like to contribute, please contact us.

The Creadora de las Mariposas Cuatro Espejos (creator of four mirrors butterflies) is a unique place in the Mayo pueblo of El Jupare, Sonora where butterflies thrive in a protected environment. It is a special nature refuge that helps to preserve nature and local customs while it provides an educational, cultural and economic resource for the community.

The four mirrors (Rothschildia Orizaba) are nocturnal butterflies that belong to the family of Saturnids, and the Lepidoptera order of butterflies with scales. Each butterfly has four distinct, smooth transparent squares that reflect light at different angles, giving them the appearance of having four small mirrors.

Unfortunately, in September of 2016 thieves ripped the special overlay material of the butterfly enclosure and stole its collection of cocoons. As a result, the lepidopterarium has not been functional, depriving local residents of the positive benefits they had received from the enclosure, and destroying a sanctuary where this beautiful and unique species of butterflies can survive.

A local group is working to restore the structure and add new inhabitants. It is a project that will also include building protective barriers and hiring a night watchman, in addition to restoring the functionality of the enclosure. Read more about the project.

The positive benefits of restoring this butterfly conservatory include:

Providing a sanctuary for these unique, beautiful butterflies, so they can propagate and live in a safe, controlled environment.

It serves as a center of nature and cultural education for local school students and university researchers. Children learn by observing the butterfly life cycle, from egg to caterpillar, chrysalis and butterfly. They also grow awareness of the connection of these creatures with their own culture and heritage – the abandoned cocoons of the cuatro espejos butterflies are used to make the rattles worn as leggings by ceremonial dancers.

The sanctuary is also a local attraction for tourists, who can see and photograph the butterflies at various stages of development, and purchase products made by local artisans.

The butterflies have a very short lifespan, and after they die a natural death, the butterflies are used to create art and crafts. We are also researching opportunities to package and ship the butterflies for sale to distributors of natural sciences specimens.

And if you have any questions or would like to learn more about this project, please contact us.

Etchojoa Casa de la Cultura Museum

Casa de la Cultura Museum of Leonardo Valdez Esquer

Leonardo Valdez Esquer loved Mexican history and culture. He collected thousands of items from all parts of Mexico, and when he died in 2014 he left behind an impressive collection of artifacts from indigenous cultures and life in Mexico.

The Museo Casa de la Cultura de Leonardo Valdez Esquer, located in the Southern Sonora city of Etchojoa, is an amazing museum of traditional art and modern culture. There is so much here that you can easily spend hours admiring the museum collection.

Its eight salons contain an amazing quantity and variety of museum pieces such as ceremonial masks and artifacts; ceramics, paintings and furniture; musical instruments; ancient wooden tools and grave markers; puppets and paper mache piñatas and figures; antique popular toys; an a collection of dolls.

After walking through the lush garden-patio entrance to the museum, the first great room is dedicated to the indigenous culture of the Mayo people of Southern Sonora and Northern Sinaloa. The walls are filled with masks, robes, banners, and wooden artifacts that had been used for washing and performing other chores.

Static displays demonstrate Mayo traditional religious ceremonies and other aspects of Mayo culture, including drums, harps and other musical instruments. I had originally thought that this large, (filled) room was the totality of the Leonardo Valdez Esquer collection. But it was just the first stop.

After the Mayo collection we entered a room filled with antique furniture, paintings, rugs and other furnishings. After that there was a room completely filled with masks from all over Mexico, a room filled with puppets and marionettes, a room filled with all kinds of antique dolls, a room filled with incredibly creative paper mache figures, a room with shelves and shelves of Mexican toys, and a room filled with ceramic wall hangings.

The final stop was the museum’s auditorium, which is used for educational presentations and other group gatherings.

Although you will never have the opportunity to meet Leonardo Valdez Esquer, after walking through this expansive and unique collection that he assembled, you may feel that you understand his love for art, history and culture based on the marvelous museum that he established.

The Museo Casa de la Cultura de Leonardo Valdez Esquer is located on highway 352, the Navojoa-Huatabampo highway, about 1/4 mile south of the railroad tracks in Etchojoa.
