To meet some of these beauties (the butterflies, not the researchers), steps into the living Butterfly Rainforest (there is a small entry fee). You can actually see researchers, behind glass plate windows, working on the collections, living and preserved. The museum is home to a collection of more than 10 million butterfly and moth specimens (it is one of the largest collections of Lepidoptera in the world, rivaling that of London's Natural History Museum).
