Vazrick became fascinated with butterflies at the age of 10, when he accidentally caught a scarce swallowtail (Iphiclides podalirius) while playing badminton with his cousin. He then found books on how to collect and preserve butterflies properly and started a butterfly collection that later won his high school’s show and tell award.
