There is a similar display at the Cockerell Butterfly Exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, but I believe the butterflies are sandwiched between the clear glass plates of a wall.

Dear taxacomers,

Sometime in the last 10 years or so, I saw a beautiful butterfly display 
at a natural history museum I was visiting.  The problem is, I don't 
remember which one!  It was a large square, with a black dot in the 
center. A pinwheel-like swirl of small to very large butterflies 
arranged so that it looked like they were flying out of a black hole 
made a very vivid impression.   As a coleopterist, I am not allowed to 
really pay much attention to butterflies, so I hope I can be forgiven 
for remembering the display, but not the context.

Can anyone tell me where this is?  I link to a photo of it would be 
greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Michael Ivie
