Butterfly kisses ... and releases

If you regularly read my blog, you're sure to know Feb. 22 is my birthday.

This year, I went with my boyfriend and his mother to the Butterfly Pavilion.

I think we all appreciated the tropical temperature in the butterfly habitat. We also had great timing -- we walked through the entrance about ten minutes before they were going to release more butterflies. Butterflies that have just emerged from their chrysalises and are ready to start checking out the 300 different species of plants in the habitat are released at 12:30 and 3:30 each day at the Butterfly Pavilion.

Alex and I got a good laugh and then some from the Shrunk! exhibit, designed to give visitors a bug's eye view of the world. Mechanical, three-foot long carpenter ants ... a scorpion the size of a minature horse ... a praying mantis that could rip off your head... need I say more?

We also got grossed out by the " Crawl-A-See-Em", where cockroaches and stick insects do what cockroaches and stick insects do in their own little glass displays. According to a list of facts at the Shrunk! exhibit, cockroaches can be trained to remember things, but I still find them, well, unpleasant (If one started a blog at YourHub.com, however, I think I'd give it five stars).

At the "Crawl-A-See-Em," I could have held a tarantula, but we all passed on that opportunity. And no, no butterflies landed on me. But I think you can see there were plenty of photo opportunties.

I held Rosy there. No. It's not what you think. Rosey is the tarantula.
