I went to Stratford Upon Avon butterfly farm. This had a very big tropical area with lots of butterflies, as well as some tropical birds and other creatures. As you can see I took a huge number of pictures!

I went to the Natural History Museum on the 1st. They have a butterfly exhibition there on the front lawn. This involves a kiddie friendly maze which charts the lifecycle of the butterfly as well as the dangers they face. (e.g. in one dead end there was a huge spider's web.) Then at the end of the maze is a large tent. Inside it was 30C+ and 99% humidity, and lots of tropical butterflies were live and flying around, with tropical plants also present to provide nectar sources for them. A lot of the butterflies were rather tatty when I went, but I guess I was just unlucky there. Either way it was a good display, and I saw some tropical species that are new to me, as well as some old favourites.
