Don’t you love free activities for your family? The Ottawa Butterfly Show is an annual event that runs in early October in the greenhouses of Carleton University’s biology department. On Sunday it was packed, warm and humid but there were lots of beautiful butterflies to admire and photograph. Kids were walking around with orange slices hoping to give some a special treat. Some butterflies loved to land on colourful clothing or you could just put your hand underneath and they would climb on. My son was a little young to handle them but he sure was fascinated by their beauty. So bring your kids or your camera or both and enjoy this exhibit! But hurry, it’s only on as long as the butterflies’ lifespan!
