Butterflies come out of their cocoons in the summer and that's exactly what you'll find at the Natural History Museum from May. The museum recreates the rainforest on the east lawn, creating the Butterfly Jungle where the beautiful winged insects live. And it's not just butterflies who inhabit these dark wooded parts, there are monkeys, frogs and snakes to discover too. Follow the jungle trail and you can climb and crawl as you find out how some of the animals survive by camouflaging themselves to blend in with the leaves, roots and trees.About Natural History Museum
