The event will be from 6-8 p.m. within the aquarium’s new outdoor summer exhibits, “Flutter Zone,” and “Flutter & Flights.”

Guests can sample wines from around the world during the event. Aquarium educators will be on hand to introduce guests to the varieties of beautiful butterflies from Asia, South American and Africa, all fluttering about. Some of the butterflies may even land on guests.

“Flutter Zone” also includes a fascinating section featuring the chrysalises whose metamorphoses will keep the exhibit stocked with fluttering butterflies throughout the summer.

“‘Flutter & Flights’ is a fun evening out, in a unique setting, and a unique way to support the aquarium, as well as local businesses that support the aquarium,” said Sam Ross, the aquarium’s director of development.

Tickets for “Flutter & Flights” are $35 ($30 for aquarium members), with proceeds going to the aquarium. Purchase tickets in advance online at www.maritimeaquarium.org to be entered for the chance to win a gift basket. Tickets also will be available at the door, or in advance by calling (203)-852-0700 ext. 2206.

The aquarium is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to educate visitors about – and to create stewards for – Long Island Sound.
