Mystery #3
Believe it or not, this teeny chrysalis is smaller than a penny! This species of butterfly is smaller than its Judy Istock Butterfly Haven roommates, and it can be hard to spot because its wings are mostly transparent! What is it?

Do you ever wonder how a butterfly gets its colors? Or how turtles hibernate? Do you wonder how birds know where to migrate each year? For over 165 years, the Chicago Academy of Sciences / Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum has served a unique role in the city of Chicago connecting people of all ages to nature and science through immersive exhibits, fun family events, important conservation research and in-depth education programs, inspiring the wonder in all of us.
Hopefully the Peggy Notebart Nature Museum in Chicago (near Lincoln Park Zoo) will re-open soon.
