Enjoying a fun visit to the Butterfly Encounter in Orlando

There are lots of exotic plants, flowers, and bugs at the Butterfly Encounter

Several hot and humid green houses are filled with tropical plants and butterflies. 

Mcaylah really enjoys chasing the butterflies. 

There is a butterfly watching all those weird humans walking around

If you put some sugar water on your finger, then you might get a butterfly friend to come over for a meal.

This little guy sure was thirsty!

I guess what they say is true.  If you don't chase the butterfly, it will land on you.

This place has several species of colorful lepidoptera to enjoy. 

There are also plenty of tropical flowers to enjoy.

That macro lense on the Lumix TS4 does a pretty good job with these flower closeups

Roses are red....

This poor zebra heliconia looks like he has damaged his wing

Mcaylah sure had a lot of fun at the Butterfly Encounter

Watch out for that pecker.  This guy was pretty mean.
