What's Behind The Emerging Window
Watch Life Sciences Manager Sarah Moore as she gives us the real "poop" on what goes on inside the Emerging Window!.
Your display window is wonderful. As a kid, my siblings and I kept them in jars until they changed and we got to watch first hand the transformation. Wonderfully exciting to see. We were also lucky to experience the migration of the Monarch butterflies on their trip south. We lived in Kansas at the time. (in the fifties) How many varieties do you have in your display?
Linda, we have about 136 species that we get in the course of a year. At any one time we would have less than that; perhaps 40 - 60 types of butterfly.
