The Butterfly Place is a single glass atrium in Westford, Massachusetts, kept warm and humid year-round. There are hundreds of butterflies flying free among the plantings. And they’re big! It’s a rare setup where you can get within inches of species you could never approach outdoors.
If you sit still long enough they’ll land on you, so this became a lesson in patience. But he humidity on a cold lens creates fog, so let your gear warm up before you start.
