Museum of Science, Boston Our butterfly garden is a warm escape from the Boston winter! Come on in and check out our new Euploea Camaralzeman, or Malayan Crow butterfly- these new butterflies will be introduced into the garden once they emerge from their cocoons. We also have new Consul Fabius or Tiger Leafwing butterflies, which are often dif...ficult to spot because they blend in like leaves until they open their wings. Here's a sneak peek at the new additions to our garden!
