      I assume it will be one of the heliconia species or one of their mimics, VC but not sure which one
    • vogelcommando
      It is a Heliconia species. The owner of Berkenhof's Tropical Zoo told me himself :)

      Oh I guessed you would know as much:eek:.

      As an aside do you know if the Artis zoo still have it's display of heliconia butterflies in the insect house VC? It's nearly 20 years since I was last in Amsterdam though so a lot must have changed at the zoo looking at the photos on here.

      Artis now has an walk-through butterfly display near the Sea lion complex.

      Thanks VC I thought they would have something better these days, butterflies seam to be such an easy display for a summer season.

      To be honest, it IS quite good !
