STL DPB IN NEW YORK - ANOTHER PRETTY BUG

 

Another from the Butterfly Vivarium at the American Museum of Natural History in New York. The inhabitants can have a sense of drama.                   

STL DPB IN NEW YORK - REPOSE

I loved going to the American Museum of Natural History when I was a kid. There are lots of new things since my last visit decades ago. One is an indoor butterfly room they call the Vivarium. It’s hard to get one of them to stand still and pose but this worked. We think the circle is its rolled up proboscis.

A last photo from the Museum of Natural History in New York. These two are not pets for the kiddies. Just look at those choppers! They are the stuff of bad dreams but oh so small, no more than a foot or 30 centimeters.

Time to get back to images of Missouri if I can find something from the archives.

Face Off

No, not a confrontation on the savannah. The American Museum of Natural History in New York is full of dioramas of animal habitats from throughout the world, expertly constructed for accuracy. They have been around for decades - I was fascinated by them as a child. It feels like you could step right into the picture.

Back home in The Lou now. Might find something local for tomorrow or might have something more from New York.
