The Butterfly Effect

Energy Discovery Centre’s temporary exhibition 'The Butterfly Effect' looks at the clever adaptions of butterflies and how the construction of their wings has influenced technological developments. What do butterfly wings and aeroplane wings have in common? Did you know that the full Latin alphabet has been spotted on butterfly wings? How can a butterfly wing appear blue if it doesn’t have any blue pigment? What do solar panels and moths’ eyes have in common? The exhibition sets out to answer all those questions, and to offer even more interesting facts about the adaptations of both exotic and locally found butterflies. The exhibition also features beautiful tropical butterflies and other arthropods from the biggest private collection in Estonia.
