The Butterfly Pavilion
Aug. 13th, 2021 09:23 pmA few days late! But on Tuesday we went to The Butterfly Pavilion, which is a zoo dedicated to invertebrates of various types. It was a nice indoor option for something to do despite the bad air.
I was an intern there for about six months, doing a weird research project on cataloguing and sorting some of the preserved collections. Mostly I wound up being pulled to work the floor, so I don't think I really wound up doing... much of my intended project, but it was still a neat experience. At the time I'd been hoping to go into museum studies, which clearly never happened.
Anyway, I hadn't been back since, so it was interesting to return. Parts have definitely changed, while other things have stayed pretty consistent.
Of course, butterflies are the main attraction.
But my favorite picture of the day: there's an octopus, now!
( 15 more pictures, including a couple spiders, insects (mostly butterflies, one not), and some other water-dwelling invertebrates... )
