In this garden, more than 60 species of butterflies from all over the tropics can be found. At all times around a thousand butterflies flutter around in an enchanting and colourful ballet. As more than 10 species breed naturally in Papiliorama, visitors can observe the complete butterfly life cycle from egg to adult, going through caterpillars and pupae. Papiliorama is also one of the rare places in Europe where one can observe the fascinating hummingbirds, flying at full speed through the dome.
