Butterfly for tourists (Butterfly houses recommendations)

[froggy]

Folks,

I am visiting Scottsdale for a few days of RNR, and went to a very nice butterfly house yesterday. Well worth the detour if you are in Phoenix/Scottsdale area. It's called Butterfly Wonderland, 9500 E. Via de Ventura in Scottsdale. Lots of interesting species which I had not seen live before (picts below), and a very interesting short film (in 3D ) on the monarch migration. Spent a couple of delightful hours yesterday away from the dry heat, but into the high humid heat of the conservatory

Hi Nomad,

Yes it was a much better place than I expected, due to the large variety of butterflies flying around (including several birdwings which I only saw once before in NY-city). I think this place is fairly new and so they are trying hard, with good success. I know there are several outstanding butterfly houses in England, which I hope to visit one of these days...

Cheers,
Froggy
