I'm using a small directory the museum (if I may call it that) provided to identify some of these. The bottom one is, I believe, a Paper Kite.
I believe this is one of the many Blue Morphos in the atrium. Doesn't look blue, you say? That's because this is the underside. The tops of the wings are a brilliant blue.
This one may be a Giant Owl, from what I can tell. It's not, of course, an owl but that's the name given to this type of butterfly.
As you can see, they are in all colors, shapes and sizes.
Butterflies taste through their feet. Here a large group of them have found a bowl of cut fruit put out for them.
And they're not above hitch-hiking a ride on their human visitors. Here's the one that latched onto my flowery shirt and stayed with me throughout my tour of the aviary. He had to be shaken off when we were leaving.
With his wings folded he may have been taking a nap.
Here's another I caught on a fellow visitor's back.
It seems to fit right in. Obviously they seem to like these Hawaiian shirts.
Tomorrow I'll show you some of the non-butterfly wildlife at the Wonderland.
