The popular butterfly tent returns to the Horticulture Building at the New York State Fair, this year with more insects including exotic breeds from Africa, Asia and Central America. Past years have included only the familiar monarch butterfly, BFLIES-BABY 15so those fluttering around your head this year will be ones you haven’t seen, unless you have traveled far from New York state.

The SkyRiver Butterfly Exhibit is open daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Admission, which includes a feeding stick to attract the butterflies, is $2. Great photo ops abound!
