Welcome!

Greetings, and welcome to Zoo City Newz Blog! This blog is not an official news reporting entity, nor is it affiliated with any such business or organization. I simply enjoy the goings on of my home town of Missoula, Montana – affectionately known as “Zoo City”, hence the name of my blog. I’ll be posting about my own observations; general goings on around Missoula and outlying areas – official or otherwise. My aim is to post interesting, funny, odd, or unique posts and photos, which may be about people, animals, or just interesting or funny things I see. I’ll also be posting information of events that are of interest to me (and hopefully you). Visit us often!

Bugs and Butterflies!

I'm SO excited! After four long years of fundraising and planning, the Missoula Butterfly House and Insectarium will have their Grand Opening on Wednesday, December 6th! If you love bugs, THIS is the place to be!

Butterflies have been emerging from their cocoons, and their population in the new indoor butterfly habitat is growing! I plan on spending as much time as possible there with my camera, to get some great photos! 

Besides the butterflies there are insects galore; and arachnids too. From Walking sticks and Beetles to Tarantulas and Scorpions (did you KNOW that scorpions glow under a black light??)

You can hold many of the insects, including a giant cockroach or a giant centipede (I held both, along with a tarantula), the centipede tickles when it walks on your arm!  

 Head over to their new facility at the Missoula County Fairgrounds, and get buggy!
