The new Hilary Tisch Biodiversity Exhibit and Butterfly House at the Tisch Family Biblical Zoo in Jerusalem marks the first exhibit of this type and scope in Israel.
Some 15 species of tropical butterflies fly freely among the visitors in a lush tropical garden kept at a toasty 28 degrees Celsius (82.4F), along with four exhibits displaying arthropods including bees, locusts, cockroaches and stick insects.
