The Butterflies of Bali show is now open to the public and we are excited to share with you many wonderful butterflies that come from around the world. Below are a few of the beautiful butterflies that can be seeing fluttering around the showroom, drinking the juices from fruit, and visiting flowers.

Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia)

Common Buckeyes are an easily identifiable butterfly; they are a beautiful chocolate color with wavy orange and white lines and colorful eyespots that range from blue to purple. They can occasionally be found flying in Ohio during late summer and in the fall. They live year-round in the southern parts of the United States and Mexico, but in late spring they begin migrating north, sometimes as far as Canada.

Leopard lacewing (Cethosia cyane)
