After going outside to view the butterfly house (you are given a chart with a picture and description of each type of butterfly), I went back into the shop to look at the shadow boxes. My husband noticed tiny spots on the wings, which prompted me to ask the proprietor what caused this, and he very kindly and patiently explained about the scale structure underlying the wings, and that in some butterflies this structure is iridescent. He also explained the butterfly lifecycle, and I walked out of there knowing a check of a lot more about butterflies than when I walked in. If I'm in the area again on vacation I will definitely stop by again. The proprietor made me feel so welcome that I would relish going back to talk to him, and will probably buy a shadow box the next time I'm there. Thanks for the memorable visit!
What a fun find! The butterfly house was fascinating. So amazing to walk among so many different butterflies.

But the proprietors are perhaps the best part of the experience. As I looked at the jewelry (my first stop), I asked questions about where the jewelry was made and where they got the wings. The proprietor knew everything about the artisan and how the wings were sourced.
A beautiful place to visit! Live butterflies and a spectacular little gift shop! It is just off rt 6 , and once you visit, you'll keep coming back. I have been coming here for years and always find something that catches my eye. A family run small business, the owner George and his family are very friendly.
The jewelry in the store made of butterfly wings (set in silver) is astonishingly beautiful, and I had to indulge. The shadow boxes with mounted butterflies are simply gorgeous - under the track lights the iridescence of the scales of certain butterflies really leaps out to the eye.
Make sure you stop at this cute place! Owners are friendly and welcoming. Love to visit any time I'm in the area!
It was fun the place is beutiful and the guys was very informative
