Fresh Sheet – January 17, 2015

The big news in our Tropical Butterfly House this week was the emergence of an Argema mimosa (African Moon moth) that had been in diapause since July of last year. Perhaps the remaining two cocoons will emerge soon as well. Unfortunately, these beautiful Saturnids have short lives so come by and see them soon!
