Butterfly Display at the Museum of Natural History

When I visited the Museum of Natural history last week they had a butterfly room setup and some displays of Butterflies so it gave me a chance to get some shots for Butterfly day hosted by Hive account@whatisnew and that's what I will share today.

I discovered a room set up to host and show butterflies is called a lepidopterarium, and I hope I spelled it right, it was cool seeing all the butterflies but I didn't get many shots with my camera, as to have it set up to suit the butterflies it needed to be very warm and moist, which fogged up the lens of my camera, so I only took a couple of shots with my camera which I will share, but I did take quite a few with my cell phone which I may use for another post in the future.

Let me start with a shot of a live Butterfly that was in the lepidopterarium ( its a new word so I had to slip it in a second time LOL)

Not the best of shots I know but literally I had to wipe off the lens and try and get a shot quickly before it fogged up again, plus my glasses were misty as well making it challenging and they moved so quickly from spot to spot, but i wanted to join this challenge :)

Now outside the butterfly room was some displays of Butterflies, the light wasn't great but I wanted to share some shots of them, starting with these ones with the lovely blues.

So I will let the beauty of the butterflies do the talking

And one last shot of a live butterfly, I tooka few more withmy camera but they were too fogged up to be usable, and I gave up on using the camera in the room and took shots withmy cellphone which I will share sometime
