A Real Parent's Story
The butterfly that didnt want to leave my hand
“A blue morpho landed on my 3-year-old arm and stayed for 5 minutes. She calls it her butterfly day.”
Read full story
The butterfly enclosure is massive - thousands of butterflies. A brilliant blue morpho landed on my daughter arm. The guide said it was attracted to skin salts. It sat so long that tourists started taking photos.
