This park is located in the eastern part of Fairfax County, Virginia. See https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/parks/green-spring While something is almost always in bloom in the greenhouse, many flowers are appearing outside due to exceptionally warm weather this January.

The oldest continuously operating insect zoo in the United States opened in 1976 in the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History in Washington DC.  Despite the "insect" zoo name, it features other types of arthropods such as centipedes, scorpions, and spiders.See https://naturalhistory.si.edu/exhibits/o-orkin-insect-zoo
