Seasons
 | The Naturospace Butterfly House follows the tropical season cycle, a world apart from France’s. Each period is conducive to new discoveries. When the cold winter and the long spring seasons take hold of Normandy, visitors can have a change of scenery by immersing themselves into this warm and damp atmosphere. Butterfly observation is helped by the pruning done during the few weeks we close, a time we devote to the maintenance and introduction of new plant species. Summer is marked by lushness, the variety of flowers and lepidopterous insects. The end of the busy high season gives way to a much more peaceful period more favourable to the wandering one must make the most of. The coming of autumn brings to the Naturospace Butterfly House not dead leaves but on the contrary abundance and wealth of vegetation which is at the height of its yearly development. It is indeed at that period that the tropical rainforest is most beautiful and that the change of scenery is most strongly felt. Many fruits are ripe (guavas, papayas, cocoa pods, carambola…), and flowers are also very plentiful. The butterflies can tell the difference and enjoy the abundance of natural nectar. Watching them fly from flower to flower is a real delight to the eyes. |
