Butterflies are more than beautiful—they're important indicators of environmental health. As climate change alters temperatures, weather patterns, and habitats, many butterfly populations are declining worldwide.

Want to learn more about these amazing pollinators and how we can help protect them? Visit Amazing Butterflies in the Flamingo Gardens Gallery starting this weekend, June 6, where you'll experience the incredible journey from caterpillar to butterfly through interactive exhibits.

🦋 What can you do? Plant native flowers, reduce pesticide use, and support pollinator-friendly habitats.
