Insider tips

Wear brightly colored clothing to increase the likelihood of butterflies landing on you.

Move slowly and avoid sudden gestures to prevent startling the insects.

Keep your camera ready but avoid using flash, which can disorient the butterflies.

What to avoid

Avoid entering with strong perfumes or essential oils, as these can disrupt the insects' sensory perception.
