Butterfly House
In The Museum of Life & Science in Durham, NC
There are over 100 species of butterflies in the
Magic Wings Butterfly House, all world travelers.
They hatched as caterpillars in tropical rain forests in the Philippines,
Malaysia, Africa, South America and Central America.
They ate, grew and transformed into chrysalises.
They were then collected by butterfly farmers, carefully packed,
and shipped to Durham.

This butterfly is a beautiful dark blue.
Michael spent so much time helping me get this picture.
This was the biggest butterfly house I have ever visited.
Most of the butterflies were extremely active and difficult to photograph.
We went with Mike and Alisa on August 30, 2014
and we had an awesome time.
It was a little hot, but a lot of fun!!
