Have you been in a butterfly house? I’ve been in two in the last two years and the experience is a bit magical.

Both houses have included the beautiful Blue Morpho butterfly. Watching them fly by is enchanting. In my experience, they flutter by quickly, often in pairs or threes appearing to be playfully chasing each other. They will land on you (in a way that you can’t photograph, of course) and you can feel them flying by.

The Blue Morpho grabs my attention instantly but there are other beautiful butterflies too.

Here are some iPhone pics and a video including the Blue Morpho, from the Butterfly House at Blenheim Palace. Enjoy!
