The Science of Rearing Butterflies at Reiman Gardens with Percival Chambers

Percival Scientific's incubation chambers create the ideal environment for superior butterfly emergence to populate the Christina Reiman Butterfly Wing at Iowa State University's Reiman Gardens. Curator Nathan Brockman says he and his staff can depend on the chambers to deliver optimal results with butterfly emergence as they study the specific conditions each species needs for the highest emergence success.

"With the [Percival] chambers here, I [can] set them to whatever I need to ensure we have the best emergence of any facility, potentially in the world."
