[Originally broadcast live on Periscope, @calacademy] The Academy's four-story rainforest dome features hundreds of free-flying butterflies—see where they hatch (along with rhinoceros katydids, orchid mantises, and more) and learn more about each species as biologists Tim Wong and Holly Rosenblum give you a behind-the-scenes tour of our beautifully named USDA Insect Containment Space! (PS: Please forgive the gaps; the same double-doors that protect native species also make internet a little spotty.)
