A new butterfly and insect pavilion at the Henry Doorly Zoo open on Saturday after a year of construction.

At 9:30 a.m. Saturday, the $10.5 million project opens to the public.

Hundreds of species of butterflies and moths fly free inside the pavilion. Visitors get a close look at flying insects from around the world. Butterfly farms in Peru, Panama and Costa Rica, among others, will sell the cocoons needed to fill the pavilion. The cost for an average chrysalis is between $1 and $20 depending on species.
