Travels in a Small World

In the strange world of the very small the ongoing drama of life can easily escape notice.
Here, where physics is less encumbered by mass, a bright world buzzes in life-times squeezed between the last frost of spring and the first frost of autumn.

Some of the players are familiar and travel to destinations on a well known route.

Others are mysterious in their purpose and exist for unknown reasons – somewhat like the punk rock bands of the 1980s.

A recent exhibit in a town near here featured a rare exhibit of specimens



As presented by Mr. John Powers – a pioneer in the creation of butterfly pavilions at museums throughout Ontario.
