Day 48: Get away to a Butterfly House

            If butterflies are your thing, you'll enjoy today's get away to the Butterfly House near Coffs Harbour on the north coast of New South Wales.  Here in a tropical rain forest setting we can roam among 400 different species of Australian butterflies.  Bring your camera because the photo opps are endless, there are staff on hand to answer all your questions.  It may sound trite, but I never tire of butterflies sitting on me and other people taking photos of the encounter.  

One last thing, the butterfly in this shot is an Orange Lacewing (Cethosia penthesilea), it's a species of heliconiine butterfly found in south-east Asia, Indonesia, and Australia.
