will see Monarch and Painted Lady butterflies flying about and watch
caterpillars go through the different stages of a butterfly cycle.
You may be there at the moment a butterfly emerges from its chrysalis to
join other butterflies in flight throughout the Butterfly House.

Bay Construction, Nexus Corp, and our volunteers and staff involved in
making this possible!<br>

small sponge brush with juice on it and watch a butterfly up close as it
drinks from the sponge! What a great photo opportunity!<br>
