These are all from the butterfly room where the butterflies and moths are all around you. SOmeitmes they land on you. I have always loved butterflies and really enjoyed this room. The photos do no justice for the colors and beauty of the butterflies and moths.

This is a cobra moth (or atticus atlas.) It is the largest moth in the world with a wingspan of 12 inches. They had rows of twine hung from the ceiling and there were so many cocoons hanging off of them. The moths were literally hatching as we watched. This one was already out when we got there.

This luna moth was also newly hatched, but had flown over onto a sign and was drying or something.
