These butterflies are named for the “tails” on many (but not all) species. Swallowtails are powerful fliers and in flight, the tails are used for gliding. When at rest, birds may mistake the tails as the butterfly's head and antennae, providing protection from predators.
Join us every March and April for our Fred & Dorothy Fichter Butterflies Are Blooming exhibition. More than 7,000 tropical butterflies fly freely throughout the Lena Meijer Tropical Conservatory. You can find more information on our website: [ Ссылка ]
