Hey LA folks, it's still Butterfly Pavilion season at the LA Natural History Museum. Apparently butterflies are the cats of the insect world ("beautiful little jerks"). A big thumbs up to the Becoming Los Angeles exhibit, too! AND you can get there by taking the Metro E (Expo) Line to the USC/Expo station
