Moving Florida to New York One Way Movers New York to Florida and the Calusa Nature Center
From your accommodations in Fort Myers Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium
is easily reached in your ONE WAY MOVERS New York City To Florida. The facility on
Ortiz Avenue covers 105 acres of nature trails, gardens and buildings. The
center encourages visitors to experience both southwest Florida wildlife and
native vegetation as well as the celestial night sky.
Planetarium
Housed in its own facility, the Planetarium offers monthly programs based on
the Earth†'……s movement and the phases of the moon. It has a telescope
that has a specially filtered lens so that daytime viewing of the sun and the
sunspots will not harm your eyes. There are guests speakers and themes such as
women in space. You can see what the night sky and stars look like at the time
of your stay as well. There are even laser light shows. How entertaining for the
budding astronomer sitting in your Long Distance Movers New York NJ CT DC Miami Orlando Florida s!
Butterflies
Strolling through this large screened in butterfly habitat is amazing.
Plants, vegetation and greenery are situated in tiers form optimum viewing
don†'……t forget your camera in your Long Distance Movers New York NJ CT DC Miami Orlando Florida s or you miss out on some awesome
photos. You can watch the 30 different kinds of fluttering butterflies flit from
one plant to another sipping the sweet, nourishing nectar that sustains them.
They may even land on you or on some other unsuspecting visitor. Some young girl
may be sporting a beautiful live hair ornament. On various plants are the drab,
dried out looking cocoons or pupae. If you are fortunate you may even see a new
butterfly emerge. What a great video that would make. Even the fuzzy
caterpillars hold the interest of the visitors. If you watch very closely you
can actually see them munching a delectable lunch of leaves. Now you understand
why some of your plants at home have leaves that are not all the same
†'…“caterpillar lunch. These native plants host the butterflies and
caterpillars with their sweet nectar and nourishing leaves while protecting the
fragile pupae. A unique idea is the sale of these native plants to help you grow
your own colorful butterfly garden. Another great start for encouraging the
butterflies to feast at your garden is the sale of the butterfly larvae
†'…“ caterpillars - along with the plants. Be very careful storing your
new treasures in your Fort Myers 15 Passenger Van

swirling about your yard, too.
Reptiles
Florida is noted for its reptiles and Calusa Nature Center houses different
species of snakes, lizards, crocodiles and alligators. Demonstrations and
scheduled feedings of these creatures are offered daily. One interesting
acquisition is the Eastern Diamondback Rattle Snake. A herpetologist donated
this snake to the center. When it first arrived it was very nervous and upset so
it rattled a great deal, definitely a reason to stay clear from it. Experienced
handlers use the snake for educational demonstrations. The Eastern Diamondback
hunts its food live in the wild. To help find its prey the rattlesnake has
heat-sensing pits on its body and is sensitive to at change of temperature to
†'…¼ degree F. It prefers warm temperatures. You may want to keep the air
conditioning in your ONE WAY MOVERS New York City To Florida on a low setting - just
joking.
Another exhibit you can check out is the young alligators of which the center
is proud possessor of two. Alligators prefer fresh water, have rounded snouts
and are darker in color from the crocodile of which there is only one at this
time. Because they are young, when distressed they make a gulping sound which is
a cry for help. They live in the aquarium and are handled for demonstrations
too, although that is not a favorite activity for the creatures and they will
bite. When these reptiles reach about three feet in length they are released to
reptile farms where they cannot harm humans. Putting them into the wild would be
dangerous for them and humans as they are used to humans and may attack.
More Exhibits
Calusa Nature Center and Planetarium has a Natural History Living Museum, a
Bird-of-Prey Aviary and an authentic Seminole Indian village along with the
nature trails. Be sure to have comfortable walking shoes in your Long Distance Movers New York NJ CT DC Miami Orlando Florida s before
you leave on your outing.
Enjoy this reaching out to nature, a diverse array of interesting and
beautiful creatures all within arms reach of the curious visitors.
