Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum
Wonder is in Our Nature®
by on 1 Comment
Glasswings (Greta oto) stand out…by not standing out. Their translucent wings and small size make them look even more delicate than their colorful counterparts. While other butterflies camouflage themselves with their bright colors and patterns, glasswings camouflage themselves by using their translucent wings to blend into the background.
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.
