Sensational Butterflies

Simulated rain, sweltering heat and lovingly arranged rotten fruit on a table, all in one tent for your convenience. It was all to the butterflies' and monster moths' delight and I too had the best Sunday afternoon.

No flash was allowed so I stabilised myself using the limbs against objects technique, only to become an exhibit myself. Patiently looking through the viewfinder and concentrating on not falling over I overheard things such as "oh take a photo of that guy!" It was worth it.
