08 Jan 2017, 08:03 pm
Take a flight of fancy with the Rice Paper butterflies at this tropical conservatory of Ontario until Jan 29, 2017.
'Tis the season at the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory. As you enter this tropical butterfly conservatory, you will find thousands of Rice Paper butterflies fluttering everywhere. With a wingspan of up to 14cm, the Rice Paper Butterfly, a large white relative of the Monarch, is impossible to miss as it floats through the air moving gently from flower to flower.
"The Rice Paper butterfly is a favourite for our guests because they land on visitors the most" says Adrienne Brewster, executive director and curator at the Conservatory. "As visitors stroll through the exhibit they will encounter fascinating information about the Rice Paper's behaviour and biology. This exhibit is a relaxing escape from the hustle and bustle of holiday activities".
