Butterflies go free at Montreal’s Botanical Garden

MONTREAL – Thousands of butterflies are fluttering about Montreal’s Botanical Garden for the 18th annual Butterflies Go Free exhibit.

The exhibit opened Thursday and will continue in the Botanical Garden’s greenhouse until April 24.

Nature interpreters are on-hand to answer questions and present demonstrations about the multitude of species on display.

This year’s theme explores the fascinating world of caterpillars.

Temperatures in the greenhouses run between 24 and 29 degrees – perfect for escaping winter’s frigid clutches.
