While I prefer butterflies out in the open in the garden, I can’t resist a butterfly world or room specifically for taking photos. I think these are owl butterflies due to the big ‘eyes’ but I didn’t see any signs explaining the butterflies in the room at Twycross Zoo.
I like the way the browns of the butterflies stands out from the bright colours of the fruit they’re feeding on.

I have a thing about butterflies, they are just gorgeous and you have captured it well. I love the details. xx
A great shot… especially the contrast because it’s usually the butterfly that is the brighter colours.
The contrast is incredible, especially when it’s the butterflies that are the most brightly coloured. A great shot!
Amazing how their wings looks the same but in close inspection its not! They are always so graceful =) #MySundayPhoto
I love butterfly houses. Great photo.
They really are stunning butterflies, i look forward to visiting butterfly farms in the summer #MySundayPhoto
What a wonderful photo! You have captured so much detail! They are beautiful x
This is such a beautiful photo. I love the butterfly houses – although last time I went in one my DSLR steamed up!! #MySundayPhoto
Thanks. I usually use my mobile until my camera’s used to it while the lens cap is on. It does take a while though
We’re looking forward to the butterfly house at the Natural History Museum opening again this month – definitely worth a trip! #MySundayPhoto
Brilliant capture! Really like the colour contrast too. xx
What a great capture, I am never quick enough
Thank you for linking up
Fantastic photo. I love the contrast between the brown butterflies and coloured fruit too.
You’ve reminded me that Twycross was the zoo I used to go to as child, although I probably last went when I was about 8. It was so long ago, that they used to have chimps’ tea parties for entertainment!
Lovely photo.The butterflies don’t look real. I have yet to take one decent photo of a butterfly, so hold on that one!

That’s a lovely photo, so hard to capture then, they always sense you there.
