One of the coolest parts of our Butterfly Encounter is all of the amazing diversity living in this tropical environment. Not only can you see a wide variety of plants thriving, but also of species flying around. We have hundreds of beautiful species of butterflies that call the Butterfly Encounter home, but we also have a species that looks really similar but is actually a bit different- moths. What is actually the difference between butterflies and moths though? Kim is here to tell you all the differences.
