Subject: Butterflies at Carleton University!

Carleton University’s Biology Department hosts a live butterfly show for 10 days from Saturday September 30 to October 9, from 9am to 4pm daily.

You can enjoy the magic as butterflies emerge from their chrysalises and watch hundreds of exotic tropical butterflies fly free in the two display greenhouses at Carleton’s Nesbitt Biology Building located at the corner of University Drive and Raven Road. Admission is free (donations are greatly appreciated). There is paid parking during the week and free parking on the weekends and holidays.

Group and school tours are available by calling Robert Smith ([ mailto:grapemanrocks@hotmail.com ]grapemanrocks@hotmail.com), Telephone 613-520-2600 ext. 1919.

I used to use the greenhouses to study in when I went to Carleton... never anyone around and it was warm and had fresh air and stuff... just a tip for anyone who is currently there

This sounds really cool! I HIGHLY recommend butterflies. VERY cool place to be, surrounded by all the pretty little buggers. Be sure to take a camera.

Here's a pic I took at the Niagara Butterfly Conservatory a couple years ago:

There were thousands of them all around you. Amazing. The experience is even better when 'enhanced'.
