Happy Holidays! We just wanted to let everyone know that we will be open over the holidays during our normal hours with the exception of Christmas day - we decided to give the garden critters a day off to play with their new toys!

Siblings! These two Hewitson's Longwing butterflies just emerged at the exact same time, most likely because the two eggs were laid simultaneously from their butterfly momma! This amazing emerging process can be witnessed everyday in our emerging window. Species; Heliconius hewitsoni
