In addition, “Butterflies!” features:
- computer stations with interactive games about butterfly habitats, body parts, responses to global warming and general trivia
- a chamber of live pupae from which you may see butterflies emerging (if you're there at the right time!)
- a live animal kiosk comparing different kinds of metamorphosis in insects and frogs.
The tropical garden in Butterflies! is a pretty big place. There are many places to look for butterflies:
- Some will be flying. (These are often the easiest to spot.)
- Some will be eating at food stations. (These are good places to get close to the butterflies.)
- Some will be resting on plants. (Butterflies usually rest with their wings pointing up so you'll be looking at the undersides of the wings. This side of the wing is often less colorful and may even be camouflaged.)
- Some will be resting on the walls or the ceiling.
- Watch out! Some will be resting on the floor. Watch your step!
There will be a $2 fee to enter “Butterflies!” in addition to museum admission. Members enter free.
