Wow! Winged Wonders.. The Butterfly Exhibit.

On Mother's Day we went to a magical place outside of Independence. Independence is south of Keizer. It is about a 30 minute drive.

This magical place is called Winged Wonders. It is a home to hundreds and hundreds of butterflies. There were small butterflies, medium butterflies and huge butterflies and moths like this one.

Some of the most amazing butterflies we saw were a brilliant florescent blue. When they flew their wings flickered and lit up the sky.

The butterflies were kept in a warm 85 degree greenhouse and we had to walk through a special room to enter the exhibit. When we left they had to check our clothes to make sure that none of the butterflies had escaped. We brought home a chrysalis. Do you know what a chrysalis is? Search here and as soon as you find out, leave a comment and tell me.
