Butterfly Pavilion

Westminster Colorado, around 32 F (0 C), snow on the ground... not the place where you would expect to find butterflies, but wrong... even in this extreme conditions you can find beautiful butterflies all year long. As long as you look in the Butterfly Pavilion Westminster that is ;-)


I was (un)pleasantly surprised by discovering that they not only have butterflies at that place. It is more an interesting mixture of butterflies, maggots and huge spiders. In that picture on the left you can see me holding Rosie. Well that was by far the biggest spider ever have set foot(s) on my hand!


But every "good" experience has to come to an end. And before you leave you have to check for hitchhiking butterflies because they really don't like to get out to Westminster for what ever reason. Why is of course a mystery to me... it might be to bright outside cause of the snow or something...
