# Event Details - **Event Name**: Art Exhibit: Butterfly Habitat by Albert Rhea - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sat, 10 Oct, 2026 at 05:00 pm (-05:00) - **Event Description**: October 10 through November 16, 2026 Exhibit included with paid garden admission. Free for garden members. Artist Statement There are many butterflies–475 species alone in North America, making them the second largest group in the animal kingdom, second to beetles. And because of their numbers, we do not see their importance. Environmentalists know that because the butterfly is so fragile it is an important indicator of the entire ecosystem–and that includes humans. The Xerces Society, a butterfly’s preservation group, puts it this way: “Butterflies, since they are so conspicuous and ecologically vulnerable, serve as excellent indicators of ecosystem health”. Dr. Paul Opler, at the Office of Endangered Species, states that it is not the butterfly collectors who have made the species endangered of extinction, but housing development and urban sprawl. Most butterflies depend on a solitary plant for its food. If land is bulldozed and plants destroyed, the butterflies disappear – forever. Study land use policies near you and be alert for habitat destruction. Ask yourself, “How are butterflies faring in my community”. About the Artist An Omaha native, Albert Rhea has been interested in photography since high school. His father was a wildlife photographer, and Albert still uses some of his equipment today. He is carrying on his father’s interest in wildlife photography in his butterfly habitat series. To Albert, wildlife photography is magical because it takes him into a universe of vibrant colors, exquisite details and extraordinary patterns. This is especially the case when shooting birds and butterflies, which provide an incredible variety of shapes and colors that could potentially keep him engaged for a lifetime.
