The following video of the Bronx Zoo Butterfly Garden is exemplary of the type of exhibit served. In this video, narrated by Gracee Mattiace (2019), she states, "At the heart of the Zoo is a small exhibit, where instead of roaring lions, you'll hear piano music". She then goes on to describe the Zoo's butterfly garden and the experience it provides to visitors.

Butterflies are sent via overnight delivery at the pupa stage, so that: (1) they arrive unharmed, (2) they can be put on display for the public to see them emerge into butterflies, and (3) the exhibit has them for the full extent of their lives when they are able to fly. In general, an established schedule of shipments is preferred so that demand can be planned for and the variety and quantity of pupae requested can be provided.

Current volume discounted prices are $4.25 per pupa for swallowtail and malachite butterflies, and $4.00 for all other types. Fedex shipping costs are an additional charge.
