BLUE MORPHO BUTTERFLY
The Butterfly House
Faust Park, St. Louis
Lunch is served!
Ed has been volunteering at The Butterfly House (click above) and decided to take her posse for a Saturday afternoon adventure. It's been a little rainy/gloomy/humid lately, causing her pictures to look as though they were taken in a steam bath. They actually were taken in a steam bath, but this bath belonged to butterflies!
Over 1,000 blue Morpho butterflies have been added to the collection this month. Their color, as evidenced above, is magnificent! Because there are so many of them, it was a little difficult to catch them while at rest. They don't rest. They are so excited to be here, they cannot control their erratic and mesmerizing dance. Here are a few more pics of this beautiful creature.
The House also has interactive exhibits like this! Ewwwwwwwwwww! Those suckers are huge!
(This is a post from about a year ago. I thought you might enjoy the beauty of this magnificent creature!)

That's a really beautiful butterfly house.. I'm been wanting to bring the kids to see butterflies but haven't gotten the time to do so.
I love the bright blue butterfly.
I love butterflys and their designs.Don't think you could find a brighter blue either:) Truly awesome!
that must be fun, walking through 100s of butterflies! I've been to arboretums that have butterflies sections, but a whole house! {:-D
We have an annual butterfly exhibit at our botanical garden. It really is a wonder to see all those beautiful creatures.

You are sooo welcome. And thank you for sharing this post.
When we get irrigation in our yard we often end up with a roach or two so that part of your post gave me the heebie jeebies! But I loved all the butterflies. That color is absolutely breathtaking!
Thanks for another fascinating stop this week!
