Butterfly house

Live butterfly exhibits became popular in England in the end of the 1970s, appealing to the British love of greenhouses and natural settings.

Guides may also show butterfly eggs, caterpillars, and chrysalids and identify specific plants that are favored by each species.

The vibrant colors and patterns on the wings of the insects have earned them the fanciful nickname "flying flowers".

[citation needed] Many species of adult butterflies live only one to two weeks, during which time they must produce a new generation.

In Puerto Rico, a group of students from the Clara Maldonado de Aramburu School in Juncos, celebrated the relaunching of its butterfly house which had been destroyed by Hurricane Maria on September 19, 2017.
