Missouri Botanical Garden

The Sophia M. Sachs Butterfly House, a division of the Missouri Botanical Garden, will create a Butterfly House Entomology Lab to serve as a functional space for staff and volunteers to properly care for their invertebrate animal collection while providing guests an interactive experience. This exhibition will promote learning experiences focused on the butterfly life cycle, invertebrate animal conservation, and the field of entomology. The project also will include the addition of digital components such as monitors that highlight the characteristics of each display species and their region of origin. The addition of technology also will allow virtual field trips to the Butterfly House Entomology Lab.
