*BUTTERFLIES ARE BACK!*
Join us for our second annual butterfly exhibit, which opens on June 18thand runs through September 30 th. Located in our walk-through greenhouse, visitors will enjoy close up encounters with numerous varieties of native butterflies such as Monarchs, Painted Ladies and Swallowtails, and learn about their importance in nature.
You will also see first hand the life cycle of a butterfly, from egg and caterpillar stages, to chrysalis and butterfly, and how adult butterflies are wonderfully diverse in shape, size and color. In addition to just being beautiful and fun to watch, see how active butterflies are during the day. Watch them flying freely among the greenery, fluttering from blossom to blossom in search of nourishing nectar, resting in a shady spot to cool off or sipping water from a puddle.
Find out how you can help butterflies by conserving or restoring butterfly habitats. We strive to increase public awareness and education about nature and animals, through exhibits such as this one. Exhibit is appropriate for all ages. FREE with Museum admission.
