CSU Entomology Club goes behind the scenes at the Butterfly Pavillion
Super Stag Beetle
OK, behind the scenes means you don’t see any adult butterflies. The pavilion has secret laboratories that have all kinds of arthropoidal types.
Centipede from Vietnam
This nasty little devil was confiscated at airport customs. They are quite venomous; I wonder if they could make a ‘Cenipedes on a Plane’ movie?
Not ready to come out butterflies
Butterfly Release Party!
This guy with the gloves gets to grab the B’flies in the little cage behind him and let them fly for the first time. I was there early to be up front; When one of the butterflies didn’t fly off right away and landed next to the feet of an 8 year old boy, the kid’s natural response was to raise his foot and attempt to stomp on the new animal! OK, the guy stopped him in time but WTF?
