Wander among our free-flying tropical butterflies! Feel the flutter of their wings, see the vibrant colors and experience a jungle climate here at the Botanical Garden of the University of Latvia. Our butterflies come from Asia, Africa and the tropical jungles of South America. They vary in color, shape and size, as do the caterpillars. Some caterpillars even resemble a jewel! To see the magical butterfly hatching process, visitors can observe their life cycle through the incubator window.
