A Visit to Florida’s Butterfly World

Karl on Apr 19, 2021 with Comments Off

Situated in Coconut Creek, part of the greater Fort Lauderdale area, is the world’s largest butterfly park. If you have any interest in seeing large numbers of butterflies flitting about, this place should be on your list of destinations to visit when in Southern Florida.
Butterfly World is a large complex of connecting building and gardens, covering ten acres. It’s home to over 80 species and from 3,000 to 20,000 live butterflies from around the globe. As most butterflies are short lived (about a week in the wild, two weeks in captivity), a considerable effort is required to support their reproduction and repopulation. Butterfly World prides itself in having created conditions in which butterflies thrive.

We came across this unusual mailbox outside the Fort Lauderdale Antique Car Museum. It seemed such an appropriate customization for a car museum — complete with wheel rims and spark plugs!
