This place had an exceptional variety of species, I think. I love e.g. the Schmetterlinghaus in Vienna, which is a larger space, but houses far fewer butterfly types.

The starry night crackers all hung out on the pillars, high above the koi carp pond. The air must have been just right for them there.
