Collodi Butterfly House

The visit takes place in a real covered tropical garden, where it is possible to observe butterflies and moths up close as they feed, court and reproduce, immersed in a setting designed not only to amaze but also tell the story of the complexity of this fragile and fascinating world.
Along the way, you can follow the different stages of their development, from egg to caterpillar, chrysalis to adult butterfly, and recognize the differences between diurnal and nocturnal species.

The Butterfly House even offers an opportunity to discover the significance of the colors and patterns that characterize wings and caterpillars—markings that may serve to defend from predators, camouflage, intimidate potential threats or attract a mate. 

Along with butterflies, the greenhouse is home to other small animals and insects that contribute to the balance of the environment.
It is an experience that combines wonder and observation, suitable for children but able to fascinate adults as well, adding a particularly evocative naturalistic and educational dimension to a visit to Collodi.
