Now on view at Fernbank Museum of Natural History through September 6, 2010Award-winning nature and wildlife photographer Bill Harbin of Rome, Ga. decorates Fernbank Museum’s walls with 33 astounding photos of bright flowers and fluttering insects in his exhibition Winged Beauty: Butterflies and Other Insects.
A variety of insect photos illuminate the entry level walls with vibrant, unbelievable colors. Delicate butterflies rest on sturdy flowers, buzzing dragonflies glide motionlessly through the air, and beetles feed on flowers covered in dew drops.
The crisp photos capture every microscopic detail, inviting viewers into a bug’s world. When met eye-to-eye, the delicate, tender butterfly suddenly becomes a dominant, aggressive creature, and tiny dew drops become heavy weights.
The exhibition is featured in conjunction with Geckos: Tails to Toepads, a live animal exhibition featuring 80 live geckos and 18 species. Visitors can experience the magnified world of more bugs by adding an IMAX® film during their visit. Bugs! A Rainforest Adventure, showing daily through September 30, follows the real-life adventure of a butterfly, a praying mantis and a variety of other rainforest insects.
