Angharad showed me how, as a child, she'd learnt to pick up butterflies without harming them.

The rain forest was filled with clouds of butterflies. We had to stop, not least so that I wouldn't drive into them, but also just to experience them.
When some local people walked past, they were obviously aware of why we'd stopped, and it was nice that they seemed proud and appreciative enough of their forest that they didn't think we were crazy :)

Something I'd not considered until I got there is what a good environment they can create in the country where the animals actually come from! All the plants and passing birds are authentic! :)
