The Butterfly Conservatory is one of the Museum's most popular annual seasonal exhibitions. Butterflies and moths make up a large group of insects known as the Order Lepidoptera. The name - from the Greek lepido, "scale," and ptera, "wings" - refers to a prominent feature of adult butterflies and moths, the tiny scales that cover the wings and the rest of the body. There are more than 250,000 known species of Lepidoptera of which 18,000 are butterflies.
