Exhibition
Schlupfloch – Vom Ei zum Falter
Once a caterpillar has fought its way out of the egg, it eats as much as it can.
Once a caterpillar has fought its way out of the egg, it eats as much as it can. It changes its appearance, grows and pupates before finally emerging from the chrysalis as a beautiful butterfly and flying through the air. We show these remarkable developmental stages of the butterfly using the example of the native swallowtail. The hatch is primarily aimed at children.
Butterflies undergo a transformation in the course of their lives, known as complete metamorphosis. Beetles, flies and hymenoptera such as ants and bees also undergo complete metamorphosis.
Using the example of a native butterfly, the swallowtail, this exhibition explores the allure of metamorphosis and shows the various stages of development of this fascinating animal. From egg to caterpillar, from caterpillar to pupa, from pupal case to butterfly: every butterfly goes through these stages. Depending on the butterfly species, the individual stages take different lengths of time.
The small exhibition is primarily intended for children. They can actively immerse themselves in the life story of a swallowtail, observe the stages of metamorphosis, assign the right food to the caterpillar or recognize the scents of the food plants. Original objects, expressive illustrations and varied opportunities for discovery help the small room to make an effective appearance.
