This week on Activity Quest, we’re going international! Join Adam as he heads stateside to visit the Butterfly Pavilion in Colorado, the first-ever invertebrate zoo and research centre in the US. Guided by Butterfly Pavilion’s very own butterfly scientist, Shiran Hershkovich, we discover a world teeming with bugs, butterflies, and underwater creatures. Travel with us through exhibit rooms filled with fascinating stick insects, spiders, and beehives. Learn how stick insects use camouflage for survival, watch butterflies emerge from their chrysalises, and find out why invertebrates (animals without backbones) are critical to our planet. We also hear about Butterfly Pavilion’s global conservation work, from creating bee fences to protect African villages from elephants, to saving rainforests in Indonesia and supporting monarch migrations in Mexico. Hear about the science behind metamorphosis, the secrets of caring for thousands of butterflies, and tips for getting involved with conservation from wherever you are! Plus, discover some amazing live cams you can check out from home and learn how everyone can make a difference in protecting pollinators.Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
