exhibition.
It p
a close look at butterflies. Dan Babbitt, one of the l
of the museum says visitors can get very close to the butterflies to learn about their i
.“Our purpose is to c
people to the natural world. We have found that using animals and insects is an amazing way to do that.” Babbitt says butterflies are important to the e
for several reasons.
“One big reason is because of pollination(授粉). They will t
from flower to flower, taking pollen(花粉) from one flower to another. So we won’t have a number of fruit that we like to eat w
butterflies.”
“We have butterflies from all over the world” he says. “And have already s
about 5,000 or so different kinds.” He a
that the museum’s goal for the next five years is to let more people learn more about butterflies .
