Product details:

They may seem as delicate as gossamer, but moths and butterflies routinely survive the cold, harsh weather of New York winters.  How do they do it? After all, they are small, without any insulating fur or feathers, and cannot generate their own body heat as mammals and birds do.  Some butterflies overwinter in protected shelters. One way they withstand freezing temperatures is by secreting chemicals that act as antifreeze to prevent the formation of ice crystals in their bodies. The comma and mourning cloak butterflies are two such insects. One way  to see hundreds of live,  tropical  butterflies from around the world during the cold winter months is to visit the Museum's Butterfly Conservatory. It operates seasonally from October through May each year.
