What You Get
The first butter-fly museum was actually just a collection of glass rooms -- housing angry chefs -- who would fling butter madly about, screaming, "You want to see butter fly? HUH?" It was quite a spectacle, but after a while the intrigue died down, butter prices went up, and the museum went out of business. Perhaps it's time to experience a better butterfly museum with today's WagJag: $20 for 4 general admission tickets to Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory (a value of up to $52).
The Conservatory invites you to enter a lush tropical garden and walk amongst thousands of freely flying butterflies. At least 2000 free-flying tropical butterflies and moths are on exhibit at any given time in the tropical Conservatory. The butterflies and moths originate in either Costa Rica or the Philippines. Most are sent weekly as pupae (also called chrysalides (butterflies) or cocoons (moths)) from butterfly farmers.
Butterfly farming is a sustainable form of agriculture and ensures that natural populations of wild butterflies and moths are not depleted. At the Emergence Window, visitors can watch as butterflies emerge from their chrysalides, dry their wings and prepare for their very first flight into the Conservatory. Some butterfly species are reared onsite so that visitors can observe all four of the stages of metamorphosis: egg, caterpillar, pupa, and butterfly. The population of butterflies and moths consists of approximately 40 different species.
The butterflies arent the only species at the Conservatory there are also birds, plants and bugs to observe as well. The current feature exhibition is the Listen to the Night: Bats of Ontario exhibit running until November 30, 2011.
