Meijer Sculpture Garden,
Butterfly Exhibit,
April 1st, 2015

| These ten cocoons are Atlas Moth cocoons. We've still not seen one hatch during our visits...but they are my most cherished desire to see! I hope I get to see one! |
 |
| We arrived as soon as the doors opened so we could get some time in the room without being crowded. When we arrived there were quite a few butterflies on the walkways that Dd moved to safety before they were trampled. |
 |
| During the exhibition, approximately 800 chrysalides are delivered each week, totaling more than 7,000 butterflies. |
 |
| In the "spring room" we were SO fortunate to be there as this Monarch hatched! We took some footage of the process--it was already out, but we got to watch it fill it's wings some. |
 |
| So cool! |
 |
| Dd really had fun getting the Venus Flytraps closing in on her piece of paper! |
