The Butterfly Corner at the National Science Centre, Khanapara, Guwahati is one of its kind in the country. It is a unique facility where various species of common butterflies are bred in captivity. Visitors can witness the complete life cycle of a butterfly—from egg, caterpillar, and pupa to adult—in a carefully controlled environment.

More than just observing the four main stages, visitors can also see fascinating behaviors such as feeding, mating, egg-laying, hatching, caterpillar moulting, and the remarkable transformation inside the pupa leading to the emergence of an adult butterfly. All of this takes place in a specially designed enclosure where temperature and humidity are precisely regulated to simulate natural conditions.

To experience the vibrant beauty of butterflies, understand their life cycle, and discover many more fascinating facts about these delicate creatures, be sure to visit the Butterfly Corner.
