If you have never been to a butterfly house, you are truly missing a magical experience. The life cycle and movements of butterflies is fascinating, and to see several types of butterflies in one place, seemingly living in harmony with each other, is uplifting. For me, an even greater joy was to watch Nicholas and Aleah gleefully encountering different types for the first time at the Living Desert in Palm Desert, CA. "Look Mom! there's another one!" Nicholas was able to coax 5 different butterflies onto his hand and at one point there was anothere one on his back. He also managed to transfer one of the butterflies to Aleah so she could feel what it is like to have this delecate creature in her hand. And, because Nicholas was so comfortable, he was able to transfer a butterfly onto Grandma's hand too.
