Every year since my daughter was an infant, we have gone to the Botanical Gardens to watch Butterflies Fly Free. I love it. I love the Morpho Bleu. I love the flowering gardens. I love the metamorphosis of tiny eggs into beautiful fragile butterflies that can fly for miles and line the crysalis with a necklace of gold. Often we hit the Chinese Garden too, but this time we hit the insectarium. The wall of colourful beetles was beautiful! I just dug up by accident one of those beauties in the garden buried under the blueberry tree. Funny how shiny and beautiful they are when they are just hiding in the dirt!
