Butterfly Wonderland in Scottsdale, AZ is the largest butterfly conservatory in the country. Chrysalis (butterflies) and cocoons (moths) are shipped in from South America, then attached to the underside of large pieces of glass and allowed to mature in a special case. Visitors can watch while they hatch out. When the butterflies and moths are hatched, they hang from their former home for several hours while their wings unfold and dry. Each day the hatchlings are transferred to the rainforest room to complete their lives. There was a reptile room, and an aquarium room, but the rainforest exhibit with the many varieties of beautiful butterflies and birds was the main attraction. It's amazing the variety of beautiful, colorful animals, insects and fish that God created.

so far you have had more snow then we have, but you are having more fun.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure how much snow we've had back home. Probably lots. Here in AZ it did snow a little on the mountains but only rained where we are. But you're definitely right about having fun!
