The popular Biology Butterfly Show, an annual event hosted by Carleton University’s Department of Biology, returns this fall. The nine-day show features 1,300 exotic butterflies representing 41 different species from across the world.
Some butterflies love to land on colourful clothing, others will climb onto an outstretched hand. Everyone is invited to visit Carleton’s greenhouses.
There will be an advance media day on Friday, Sept. 28 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., followed by a pre-show event open to media and invited guests from 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. Representatives from Carleton University Biology Society and Let’s Talk Science will be on hand at the pre-show to answer questions.
When: Saturday, Sept. 29, to Sunday, Oct. 7, 2018. The exhibit will be open each day from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. (on the weekend, lines close at 3 p.m. due to volume)
Where: Greenhouses of Nesbitt Biology Building, Carleton University
Info: For directions, please see the campus map.
More than 1,000 area students and 10,000 visitors dropped by the greenhouses at the west side of Carleton’s campus for last year’s butterfly show.
Admission is free; however donations are welcome and can be made at the event or online.
