I fell in love. It is such an entrancing feeling to have all these beautiful winged creatures flying all around and occasionally land on you. What a special treat to see the nearly famous Blue Morpho (a giant blue butterfly) fly by! The best part of our shoot was watching curator of butterflies Mark Deering open up the emergence case, and see brand-new butterflies fly for the first time. It was such a beautiful experience; I was in awe.  The Butterfly House is a special treat for adults and kids alike. I loved watching the faces of little kids seeing so many butterflies up close for the first time, and I also found out that many adults also come here on their own and sometimes sit for hours just watching these beautiful, miraculous creatures.  As Deering says, “To many people, butterflies represent spirit,” and what better way to have your spirit lifted than to visit a place where you can see so many butterflies at once?   Abstract Magazine PBCore Genre Picklist Is Part Of http://will.illinois.edu/prairiefire/episode/pf2008-02-14 Illinois, Indiana Spatial Intermediate (grades 7-9)|High School (grades 10-12)|Primary (grades 1-6)|College|Post Graduate|General Education|General TV-G Virginia Steffen Producer Julius Bolton Chief Camera - Segment WILL-TV, University of Illinois Copyright Holder Publisher © 2009 University of Illinois 2008-01-16T13:50:00-06:00 2008-01-16T13:50:00-06:00 video/x-pn-realvideo http://willmedia.will.uiuc.edu/ramgen/pf2008-02-14-a.rv Moving Image RealSystems Real Media 9 46563277 00:07:51 eng pf2008-02-14-a.rv WILL Public Media, University of Illinois 2008-01-16T13:50:00-06:00 2008-01-16T13:50:00-06:00 video/mp4 http://willmedia.atlas.uiuc.edu/mpeg4/pf2008-02-14-a.mp4 Moving Image MPEG video MPEG-4 52413803 00:07:51 eng pf2008-02-14-a.mp4 WILL Public Media, University of Illinois 2008-01-16T13:50:00-06:00 2008-01-16T13:50:00-06:00 video/x-flv http://willmedia.atlas.uiuc.edu/flash/pf2008-02-14-a.flv Moving Image Flash Video Flash Media 8 29890516 00:07:51 eng pf2008-02-14-a.flv WILL Public Media, University of Illinois
