Fresh Sheet- July 11, 2015

Normally, we invite guests to the Tropical Butterfly House for a warm, sunny spot in rainy Seattle. But this summer, it has been far more warm and sunny in Seattle than in some of the tropical homes of our butterflies. This week's pupae come from Costa Rica which has been experiencing a summer full of rain. These butterflies have gotten away from the storms and are ready to fly in our sunny butterfly house.

Read more about the effect of the storms here:
