“Fresh Sheet” is our weekly shipment report of pupae on display in the emerging window. Visit Pacific Science Center’s Tropical Butterfly House and meet our newest residents.
The butterfly in the photo is actually an Agrualis vanillae, a species that is on our permit but we have never before received from Suriname. This week, they were a surprise addition to the shipment and we got fifteen of them, most of which are already flying around the butterfly house!
