Stop by the Butterfly Hatching Hut each day at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. and watch as colorful new butterflies are released into the Rainforest Pyramid.
Butterflies have a short life span.
Most live as adults for only 2-3 weeks. At any given time, there are between 1,000 and 2,000 butterflies in the Rainforest at Moody Gardens. Being sensitive to the environment, butterflies become less active in cold or cloudy weather. As dusk approaches, they begin to settle into the foliage to roost for the night.
