The butterflys by

Tropical butterflys, not native to Oregon. These came from Costa Rica. Because they are not native to Oregon, they can’t release them at the end of the display. Because the Portland Zoo is not outfitted to support them year round, they destroy them when the season is over.

    Thank you, Thank goodness they were holding still, it was during the morning, before the heat of the day. Once the heat came out, they were all over.
