THE BUTTERFLY PAVILION

Today I went on a field trip with my homeschool group. We did some interesting things there, like looking at bugs (no, excuse me - insects), petting sea stars (and other things like tarantulas), and saying that the lady who organized our field trip ruled the world.

But by FAR the most exciting part for me was the butterflies. We went into a large greenhouse-like room where butterflies from the rainforest flew all OVER the place! I felt breathless almost as soon as I walked into the room (mostly because it was so humid). My favorite type was a blue butterfly that looked plain when it closed it's wings, but was a brilliant blue when it opened them. although this butterfly was pretty, it never held still and I couldn't get any pictures of it.

But I did get pictures of other butterflies, some of which I would like to show you!
