We've been to a lot of butterfly farms over the years and most of them have been, frankly underwhelming, with only a handful of species that shy away from human contact. Vlindersafari in Gemert, Netherlands on the other hand, was quite the opposite, and by far the best butterfly farm we've ever visited. Their tropical garden is simply teaming with butterflies of every species you can imagine (and some you'd never be able to dream up). They were so interactive too - the kids loved every minute of it, and we spent hours there, covered in butterflies.

These photographs were taken with my Sony A7R IV and the Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM with Kase Wolverine filters.

About the photographer

I'm Alex Nichol. I'm an amateur photographer from the North of England. For me, photography is a way to share what I love most about the world. That includes everything, from family and friends, to wild animals and breathtaking places... or maybe just how the sun twinkles on a weed in my back garden. It's all fair game.
