I've been to a number of butterfly exhibits, but Butterfly World blew me away. The air was filled with butterflies. This is a Central American species, called the Piano Key because of the black and white on the bottom of the hind wings.
At Butterfly World, there is a "Lorikeet Experience". About 40 Rainbow Lorikeets inhabit a medium-sized enclosure. My experience was having a Lorikeet land on my backpack while I was taking a photograph. As another photographer there said "Watch out for backsplatter".
