Smithsonian all aflutter over new exhibit
0 Comments | USA TODAY, February, 2008
Best known for dinosaur bones and a giant stuffed elephant, the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., opens a new permanent exhibit on Friday: a butterfly pavilion. "Butterflies Plants: Partners in Evolution" lets visitors get up close and personal with 400 of the fluttery creatures and learn about their relationship with plants over millions of years. Butterflies were around in the Jurassic Period and have outlived the dinosaurs, says Smithsonian entomologist Ted Schultz.
