Paint tiny wings, buzzing insects and bright plants, experiment with color and texture, and watch your scenes come alive with movement and sound. This creative workshop invites curiosity, careful observation, and playful making.

In captivity, Janus receives attentive care, resulting in an impressive lifespan of 26 years.
