Malachites are Back at MOSI!

MOSI Outside is proud of the fact that we raise nearly all of our own butterflies for display in the Flight Encounter exhibit, making us unique among butterfly houses. This gives us a chance to focus on species that are native to West Central Florida, providing guests with an opportunity to get close to the same species inside that they'll also find outside in our gardens. Every so often, though, we have the chance to purchase some special butterflies, like the Malachites (Siproeta stelenes) that we are thrilled to once again have in our exhibit! Stop by to see these lovely butterflies over the next couple of weeks, and click here to learn more about this South Florida species.
