    Wow again, your quality is so consistently high.

    Is this a special butterfly section in that zoo? Is it inside or outside?     Posted 11 years ago

      Yep inside, a special dome where a tropical climate prevails.
      The giant turtle was also made in this dome :)       Posted 11 years ago
