25th Annual Biology Butterfly Show
Saturday, October 5 to Sunday, October 13, 2024
Nesbitt Biology Building, Carleton University
1125 Colonel By Dr, Ottawa, ON

The show features over 1,000 butterflies that arrive in at least three separate shipments, representing 41 different species worldwide. The event is appropriate for people of all ages.

During your in-person experience, the butterflies will be flying freely in the greenhouse and may occasionally land on you. Butterflies are fragile, so please do not touch them or pick them up by the wings. Butterflies love to land on colourful clothing and will climb on to an open hand. To encourage landings, we recommend you to wear bright colours. You may also bring juicy orange or pineapple slices to help entice butterflies to you. If one lands on you, they are easily dislodged by blowing gently on their wings.
