Perching Near Nests

When visiting a butterfly's home, it's essential to respect their personal space.

Here are some basic rules for perching near a nest:

• Don't touch the eggs. They're not toys.
• Avoid sudden movements. We don't want any accidents.
• Don't try to 'help' by rearranging the twigs.
• Keep your phone on silent mode. We don't want any unwanted selfie sticks.

If you're unsure, observe from a distance. Or, you know, just don't be there.
