At Butterfly World in Coconut Creek, Fl you walk among the butterflies in their natural habitat.  The numerous colorful butterflies flutter about quickly not posing for your camera.  You have to be patient.  Most of the butterflies are species from around the world and are bred at butterfly World in their laboratory.  You can observe caterpillars eating leaves at the windows looking into the laboratory. Butterfly World also farms butterflies to sell to universities and zoos, shipping the chrysalis. You also walk through an aviary with singing tropical birds and hummingbirds.  Another aviary has colorful lorikeets from New Guinea that will eat from your hand. In the butterfly museum there is a collection of butterflies and moths and insects from around the world.  You can walk through the park as many times as you wish, which is a good idea because you see thinks you didn't see before.  On my second time through, a butterfly landed on my shoulder and stayed there for 10 minutes.  I was wearing a shirt that my wife Carol had embroidered butterflies.  One of the lab techs who was releasing butterflies that had just come out of their chrysalis, took a pic with my camera for me.
