Hey there everyone!! Thanks for holding up the thread Mellie and all! Been working a lot and trying to get some things growing in the garden, and at the Conservatory with the butterfly exhibit. In the last thread posted above Cathy put a link to the threads I have added about the butterflies in the exhibit.. (in case anyone would like to see them). I still have some to add, and a few more days to work then I should be back more steadily in April. That's when butterfly action really picks up here anyway!
You guys keep up the great work!!
Here is a post Sheila, Paige and I have worked in the exhibit... It is the emergence box with our native species pupae. Dale Clark is at the head of the exhibit and he puts domestics in this box to eclose so that guests can see this part of the metamorphosis process live and in person. The exotics have to be monitored in a prep room before releasing into the conservatory because of APHIS regulations regarding them.
Anyway... here are some Zebra Longwings that had just eclosed while I was manning that post in the conservatory.
