London artist helps endangered animals with colourful murals

Description

On the wall of a residential street in London’s neighbourhood of Charlton, Louis Masai puts the finishing touches to a striking large-scale mural of an orangutan. The British artist, known for his signature patchwork style, travels around the United Kingdom to paint colourful murals of animal species in decline or on the brink of extinction, to issue a warning about the devastating effects of climate change and biodiversity collapse.

  • Hundreds of tropical butterflies released in Natural History Museum

    What's the most popular insect in the world? You guessed it, butterflies! London's Natural History Museum put on a special exhibit to honor the elegant insect called Sensational Butterflies, and hundreds of tropical and rare butterfly species were released into the enclosure, much to the delight of visiting children. Butterflies of all shapes, sizes, and colors landed on visitors, giving them an opportunity to meet and greet the butterflies. Hundreds of different types of butterflies from South and Central America, Asia and Africa freely circle around the visitors, landing at their leisure. Among the rare species, visitors could find Blue Morpho, Great Eggfly, Owl butterfly, and Swallow Tail butterfly types. The exhibit features a special room where visitors can watch as butterflies complete their metamorphosis, transforming from caterpillars to the winged wonders we know and love. Kids can watch as the newborn butterlies get to emerge from their chrysalis and spread their wings for the first time. The tropical environment, complete with vines, flowers and folioage, is heated to mimic the temperature and humidity of the natural habitat for most the of species. However, the luscious jungle-like exhibit provides an excellent opportunity to search for camouflaged caterpillars hiding amongst the foilage and butterflies feeding on nectar and fruit. The Butterfly House team is on hand to give more info about each individual species and give hints on how to find them. The exhibition will run until September 17.
