Look at how pupae arrive at Butterfly Creek 🦋

This image was taken by Keeper Sarah of our recent pupae shipment showing 4 of the 10 species that we receive from the Phillippines.

We source our pupae from sustainable butterfly farms in Costa Rica and the Phillippines. They arrive packaged in cotton then our keepers mount the pupae in hatch boxes.

🦋 Butterfly Conservation 🦋

These holidays, we're focusing on butterfly conservation and what we can do to help the butterflies.

Every Monday to Thursday in Boneyard Room, you can write a pledge of something you're going to do to help the butterflies or a tip that others could do and stick it on our conservation board.

This week, we asked our keepers for their butterfly conservation tips and this is what they had to say 🦋

🕙Plus catch our 10am Butterfly Encounter in the Butterfly House to learn all about butterfly conservation and different species.
