Georges Brossard, CM CQ (February 11, 1940[2] – June 26, 2019) was a Canadian entomologist and founder of the Montreal Insectarium.
Brossard wrote and directed 20 episodes of Mémoires d'insectes ("Insect Diaries"), and was the creator and host of the televised series Insectia.
In 2004, he was the subject of the fiction film Le Papillon Bleu (The Blue Butterfly) directed by Léa Pool, based on an event in Brossard's life which occurred in 1987.
Working for the Children's Wish Foundation of Canada, Brossard traveled to South America with a boy named David Marenger[3] who was in the terminal phase of cancer.
It was David's dream to catch a mythical blue morpho butterfly, Georges went to great lengths to find in the vast jungles, even putting his and the boy's lives in danger.
