Butterfly Chart

When you first enter the Butterfly House, you will be given a FREE chart with the butterflies so you can identify them in the garden.  Your free Butterfly I.D. Chart is a good educational challenge for kids and adults to find and identify the different butterflies flying freely in the garden.  Make it a game  – who can find the most!
