 I'm Alicia Woodruff and welcome to the Fort Report. We've waited for two years, and finally, butterflies are back in the Botanic Garden. Butterflies in the Garden is a butterfly exhibit powered by zero energy. It's from March 1 through April 6, and during that period of time, we will release 12,000 mostly tropical butterflies. We are getting many from Malaysia and the Philippines, but we're also getting them from Central and South America, Africa, and also some of our native species here from the U.S. Through the course of the exhibit, we generally have around 100 different species. It increases the number of species throughout the exhibit. Dale gets pupas from all around the world for this exhibit. My job is to take them and pin them onto these boards that are glued to the top of these little Tupperware-like boxes. And that's where they will hang and wait until the butterflies emerge. And another part of my job is to remove them from these containers, put them in these nice big cages, and then transport them into the conservatory and release them. Not just looking at beautiful butterflies, but you have an opportunity to learn all about the butterflies. They're life cycles. They're different colors. They're patterns. And then across the parking lot from us is Britt, the Botanical Research Institute of Texas. And Britt will have an exhibit on pollinators, a wonderful exhibit on pollinators. So between the two of us, people can learn a lot about butterflies during this exhibit. Botanic Garden asks everyone to please follow their rules. The big rule is don't touch the butterflies. And the reason is everybody says, oh, I'm not going to hurt it. I'm just going to touch it. And that's true. Nobody wants to hurt a butterfly. But we have over 1,000 people come through a day. And if everybody started touching, you know, the butterfly would get worn down pretty quickly. Butterflies in the Garden is open through April 6th. You can purchase tickets online at the Botanic Garden's website. Here's a look at other events happening in and around Fort Worth in the next few weeks.
