Empire of the Moth
Daytime turns to night. Trees loom in the semi-darkness. A full moon casts a silvery light. It is just bright enough to behold what has never before been seen in North America....

Butterfly Kingdom proudly presents the Realm of the Moth, revealing a twilight scene where nighttime comes clearly into focus. Spectacular giant silk moths, some with wingspans of over ten inches, glide through the dark. In this seldom-glimpsed world, crickets and katydids fill the air with music; hawkmoths, the hummingbirds of the night, dart from flower-to-flower in search of nectar; thick-legged wolf spiders forage for food, and fireflies illuminate the darkness with amber flickers of light. It is a breathtaking and unforgettable scene of bioluminescent creatures and rarely seen denizens of the night.
