Do you want to increase your chances of having one of these “flying gems” choose your shoulder for landing and a short rest? Use a fruity perfume. You can also pique the butterflies’ curiosity by wearing a yellow or red shirt.

Dozens of exotic species

And look - the largest of them have wingspans the length of a soup spoon! The types of species change throughout the year. Therefore, if you visit us in a different season, you will see butterflies that you could not have seen before.

A tropical climate

You will see butterflies that live in the rainforests of the Amazon basin to Mexico, sub-Saharan Africa, to the Philippines, Thailand, and Malaysia. In Papilonia, you will feel like you are on an exotic holiday, because there is a hot temperature and air humidity here.

A wonder of nature

See the hatching of butterflies from cocoons with your own eyes and witness the first flight of their lives. Observe the metamorphosis of the caterpillar into a butterfly, that is, the process that is rightfully considered to be a wonder of nature.
