The National Butterfly Center is a scenic destination that spans over 100 acres and is a prime location in the country for butterfly enthusiasts who want to get close to these beautiful insects. With over 300 species of butterflies thriving among some of the most lush plant life in the Rio Grande Valley, the Center offers a mesmerizing sight. The monarch butterfly is an iconic American species that has unfortunately decreased in numbers due to shrinking habitats, environmental toxins, and climate change. Public interest in conservation efforts to protect this species has increased, which is a positive development. However, it is essential to note that of the 456 butterfly species tracked by NABA, 320 have shown less positive trends than the monarch butterfly.
