Butterflies
A butterfly is an insect of the order Lepidoptera.
Butterflies have an unusual life cycle with a larval
caterpillar stage, a pupal stage, and a spectacular
Metamorphosis into a beautiful winged adult form.
This is our latest addition to the park; in November
2010 we opened our butterfly house.
There are at least 1250 species of butterflies in Costa
Rica. The beautiful Morpho Butterfly is the most
well-known butterfly.
