Marriage Proposal at Butterfly Haven

We recently hosted a surprise wedding proposal. The bride-to-be had been fooled into thinking that she and her boyfriend and family were going to be actors for a commercial to publicize butterfly releases for us.

But in their release box below the butterflies, Cleo had placed her ring. This video begins after the release, with the boyfriend telling her to look in the bottom of the box. From the video below, I think you could say that she was surprised!

What is also interesting is how the gorgeous Blue morpho, still in the box after the release, sits with its wings open for so long. This is unusual, especially with all the activity around it. Blue morphos don't like to sit with their wings open very much because their iridescence makes them very visible and vulnerable. Its almost like the butterfly is celebrating too.

Kudos to Cleo for a job well done. I think you will enjoy this short video.
