Butterflies



Underfoot and I went to see the tropical butterflies at the local botanical gardens. The butterflies were all different. We saw butterflies from the American tropics.

From their website, "all of the butterflies in the Gardens' exhibit are hatched from eggs and live as caterpillars in butterfly farms in tropical parts of the world. When the caterpillars change into the pupa or resting stage, they are carefully counted, labeled, and packed. In the pupa stage of the butterfly life cycle, no food is required so they can survive the two or three day trip. "
Can you find the butterfly in this picture?
