Subject: Collecting a "bad" thing?

In reading several recent (published in the last 10 or so years) field
guides and other books, it seems that butterfly collecting has fallen out
of favor compared to butterfly "watching."

Is it so terrible to build a collection of nature's beauty for education
and display?   Any comments appreciated.
