London holds living butterfly show

A show in London's Natural History Museum allows visitors to walk among hundreds of butterflies from all around the world.

Butterfly Explorers, which opened on Thursday, exhibits exotic butterflies from North America, Asia, Africa and the Amazon rainforest.

Held on the museum's east lawn, the show gives visitors, especially children, the chance to see butterflies flying around, hold them in their hands and use interactive exhibits.

There is also a hatchery room where visitors can see tropical butterflies coming out of their chrysalises, the BBC reported.

"For Butterfly Explorers we've chosen to highlight five distinct international butterfly habitats, which means that visitors will be able to walk among many species of tropical butterfly as they make their way through the butterfly house,” Mike Sarna of the Natural History Museum said.

"We're also showing visitors what they can do to make their own gardens butterfly-friendly and to help to ensure that we protect and create ideal habitats for butterflies," he said.
