The Great Butterfly & Moth Hunt Trail
Eight butterflies and moths are hiding around the museum… can you find them all?
Follow the trail, discover some beautiful butterflies from the Museum's collection, and learn some amazing facts along the way. Butterflies and other insects are very important for nature because they help pollinate flowers. When you've found them, go to the Front Desk to collect a special sticker for your Pastport and some wildflower seeds. Plant them to help create a welcoming place for butterflies to visit!
