Word of the month: Respect Division begins return by Staff Sgt. Craig Cantrell 4th Infantry Division Public Affairs Office

About 100 Soldiers assigned to the 4th Infantry Division Headquarters and Division Special Troops Battalion were welcomed home during a ceremony at the Special Events Center Tuesday. The Soldiers are the first from the 4th Inf. Div. Headquarters and DSTB to redeploy from a yearlong deployment to Iraq in support of Operation New Dawn. “It feels great being home and being able to relax,” said Spc. Rebecca Seiler, an imagery analyst assigned to the DSTB. During their deployment, the Soldiers provided service and support for the units serving in support of U.S. forces’ advise, train and assist mission in northern Iraq. The 4th Inf. Div. assumed command of U.S. Division–North, Nov. 4, and while deployed as part of Task Force Ironhorse, the DSTB made a number of services possible, including communications, logistics and force protection. The 4th Inf. Div. led approximately 14,000 servicemembers conducting stability operations to support the continued development of a sovereign, stable and self-reliant nation. The Soldiers entered the Special Events Center at 1 a.m. and formed up in front of a crowd of Family and friends waiting to be reunited with their loved ones. “It feels amazing to be home … I love America,” said Spc. Jacob Upchurch, DSTB. “It’s good to see everybody. “The ceremony was great; the rear detachment really did a good job I couldn’t ask for more.” The DSTB rear detachment is responsible for the planning and execution of the reception as well as the nine-day reintegration training program for the Soldiers. “The leadership and Soldiers of the three rear detachment companies accomplished this with very limited resources while still maintaining the Photo by Samantha B.

As part of the inaugural round of the competition, the OSJA earned $500 from the Directorate of Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation for collecting, weighing and turning in three-month’s worth of recyclables to the Recycle Center, building 155.

ike bugs? Tarantulas? Lots of bugs, tarantulas and other invertebrates are in the “Crawl-a-See-Em” Lat the Butterfly Pavilion and Insect Center in the Denver suburb of Westminster. And through August, active-duty military and up to five members of their Family, through the Blue Star Museum program, may visit free of admission. Invertebrates — animals without backbones — in the pavilion include centipedes, cockroaches, walking sticks, beetles, honey bees and a man-face bug. There are several tarantulas on display and visitors can actually Where hold Rosie, a tarantula. The Water’s Edge exhibit is under renovation during August. The butterfly cycle begins with eggs that become caterpillars. After four to eight weeks, the caterpillars become chrysalis, also called pupa. Once the caterpillars butterflies become pupas, butterfly farms around the world ship the pupas to the Butterfly Pavilion that cares for them until butterflies emerge. Stop by the chrysalis viewing area to watch the process of metamorphosis, as caterpillars turn into butterflies. Butterflies have short lives — two-four weeks — depending on the species. About 50 tropical species of butterflies are in the 7,000 square-foot tropical forest called Wings of the Tropics. fly free Hundreds of butterflies flit about the glass-enclosed forest, which is kept at 70 percent humidity and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The butterflies land on anything convenient — rocks, trees, leaves, flowers, a shoulder, cap or sleeve. As butterflies are almost weightless, visitors sometimes walk around the forest, unaware that a butterfly has landed on their clothing. Visitors are not allowed to touch or catch butterflies as the human touch leaves harmful oils. The forest’s tropical and sub-tropical plants provide blooms and nectar for the butterflies throughout the year. Dozens of species from around the world are in the pavilion, as are fish and turtles. A butterfly identification sheet with photos of various species can be purchased for $1 at the entrance desk. Just hatched butterflies are released in the tropical forest at 12:30 and 3:30 p.m. daily by a pavilion worker who gives information about butterflies being released.

A tower of tarantulas is in the “Crawl-a-See-Em.” Other insects are displayed.

An exhibit, “Tropical Odyssey” is for the whole family and is included in admission. There are educational games and more than a dozen interactive exhibits, such as puzzles, boards and even a zip line for children. The Butterfly Pavilion was established in 1995, and at the time was the only stand-alone insect zoo in the nation. There are several other butterfly houses in the United States, but the facility in Westminster is one of the largest and is a nonprofit facility. Its mission is to build an appreciation of butterflies and other invertebrates and to educate the public about the need for conservation. The pavilion is funded by private and corporate donations, the City of Westminster, banks, admission and membership fees and gift shop sales. The gift shop has a collection of items that could be titled “Everything Butterflies.” Backpacks, jewelry, T-shirts, stickers, pencils and note cards are sold. There are books about insects and butterflies and even butterfly nets are stocked. There are a number of picnic tables and chairs on the patio for visitors to use. Only snacks and soft drinks are available in the gift shop. Five acres of butterfly gardens and nature trails are on the premises. The Butterfly Pavilion and Insect Center is open year-round. Hours are 9 a.m. until 5 p.m. Through Aug. 31, active-duty Soldiers and their Families should ask at the entrance for free admission through the Blue Star Museum program. Regular admission is $8.50 for adults and $5.50 for children 2-12. Children under 1 are free with an admission-paying adult.
