"Summer" Mule Deer
(Secrets of the Dioramas at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science).
The "Summer" Mule Deer diorama is in the "Edge of the Wild" Exhibition the 2nd Floor.  There's a butterfly in this exhibit which moves its wings every 12 seconds.  This butterfly is one of only two moving objects in all of the museum's dioramas.
