Beautiful Butterflies

Butterflies at Hershey Gardens

I have always adored butterflies! They just seem so magical, don’t they? Colorful, intricate patterns, and so delicate… We were on vacation last week in Hershey, PA and while everything we did was absolutely fun, for me visiting the butterfly atrium at Hershey Gardens was definitely a highlight! I need to spend a little time identifying these specimens, but in the meantime I thought it would be fun to share some photos.

I even had one land on me, but if flew away before I could have someone snap a photo. The sponges you see here are actually resting in Gatorade! Who knew? I am so inspired to create a sustainable butterfly habitat in our yard this year!
