One room at the Conservatory of Flowers is filled with butterflies. Well, “filled” may be too strong a term; in fact, when we first walked in and I saw a butterfly flitting away from me, I was disappointed that it seemed to be the only one.
Then I noticed one on the windows.
And another one.
And then I realized there were dozens – maybe hundreds – of them in there, but only a few were in the air at any one time. And they were all different colors and sizes. Very impressive!
There’s also has a case in which butterflies in chrysalis were evolving from their caterpillar forms, some of them having already emerged.

Naturally, I highly recommend visiting the Conservatory if you have the chance. It’s great!
