Butterflies: Made in the USA
New Orleans, LA, USA — In a most unusual salute to Independence Day, Audubon Butterfly Garden and Insectarium created a patriotic display made out of red, white and blue butterflies and visitors are invited to celebrate the Fourth of July with two full days of Red, White & Butterfly themed activities! The fun flutters in on Saturday, July 7 through Sunday, July 8 from 10am – 5pm.
In celebration of the newly renovated Butterfly Garden, guests will learn about the interesting life histories of several butterfly species, life spans, butterfly gardening, butterfly farming in other countries, and the differences between butterflies and moths. A butterfly release and chat are scheduled on Saturday and Sunday at 11:00 a.m., 1:00 p.m., 2:30 p.m., and 4:00 p.m.
Throughout the Butterfly Garden and Insectarium, visitors will enjoy unique butterfly themed activities including up close views of butterfly wings using a “scope-on-a-rope” camera, butterfly specimen identification by the Entomology staff in the Field Camp, and hands on butterfly crafts.
Additional butterfly activities include:
- Butterfly-shaped balloons – 11:00 am to 2:00 pm
- Beautiful butterfly dancers in the lobby – 11:00 am to 2:00 pm
- Caricature portraits in butterfly form – Noon to 3:00 pm
