Faust Park

We then went to Forest Park and wandered the Art Museum, plus had lunch at the restaurant there, now a division of Wolfgang Puck. Jill and I split the 4 cheese pizza and the fried calamari. Was good. Since it was such a nice day (sunny 70s) the park was packed - we opted to go elsewhere. We ended up at Faust Park. Its main attraction is the Butterfly House.

The Butterfly House itself is an atrium that you walk through that has over 1000 butterflies of 60 species, as well as a number of tropical plants. They are everywhere and might even land on you.

Some butterflies use camoflauge - the bottom of this one's wing's looks like a dead leaf.
