Description
Butterflies enjoying a sweet treat at the butterfly gardens at the Long Island Aquarium and Exhibition Centerin Riverhead. Since most butterflies live for only a few weeks, new deliveries of butterflies arrive directly from Africa, Central America, South America, Asia, and North America constantly! Approximately 800-1000 butterfly pupae are received by the entomologists at the Long Island Exhibition Center each week! The Exhiition Center also features a butterfly laboratory and an emergence chamber . There you can watch as hundreds of butterflies emerge from their chrysalises every day! If you are visiting when the deliveries arrive you can watch as the entomologists hang the chrysalises.
