The Butterfly house at the San Antonio Zoo is a wonderful kid-friendly place full of colorful tropical butterflies and scary-looking caterpillars! It's fascinating that the most beautiful butterflies have the most fearsome-looking caterpillars.
From the SA Zoo website:
"Guests experience a spectacular butterfly garden where they are immersed in a lush butterfly habitat surrounded by hundreds of butterflies moving freely throughout the exhibit. Fifteen to 20 species of butterflies delight guests through intimate interaction.
These beautiful, colorful creatures are curious,approachable and often rest on guests as they stroll through the garden. Guests go home with a greater understanding of these fragile, beautiful butterflies, and a deeper appreciation for the importance of maintaining their habitat to ensure their survival." [end]
Blasterz had a great time seeing all the butterflies flying around. We got to see a huge black and white butterfly emerging from a pupa. We enjoyed flocks of blue morphos, paper whites, and delicate zebra longwings. They were everywhere we looked.
