If you’ve ever been curious about where the monarch butterflies disappear to in the winter, don’t miss the film Flight of the Butterflies, playing in the LeFrak IMAX Theater for just one more month, through Sunday, July 7.

Don't miss it! The Butterfly Conservatory is open only for three more days—through this Memorial Day weekend.

By far the largest and oldest group in the order Lepidoptera, moths are usually overshadowed by their flashier cousins, the butterflies. But they are finally getting their due in Winged Tapestries: Moths at Large, a photo exhibition now open at the Museum.

They may seem as delicate as gossamer, but moths and butterflies routinely survive the cold, harsh weather of New York winters. This post, adapted from A Seasonal Guide to New York City's Invertebrates, written by Elizabeth A. Johnson, explains a bit about how the four-stage life cycle of these insects helps them survive the cold.

Witness the longest insect migration on earth—and the decades-long passion of one scientist—as the mystery of the monarchs unfolds in Flight of the Butterflies, which opens this Saturday, January 5, in the Museum's LeFrak IMAX Theater. Watch the trailer.
