Cleveland Botanical Garden
The glass house at the Cleveland Botanical Garden is a replica of a cloud forest. It is modeled after the forest in Monteverde, Costa Rica. I have neither the equipment nor the patience to come up with pictures of butterflies, but there are so many here you can’t miss them.

We visited Monteverde and I remember some of those butterflies. So beautiful!

Monteverde sounds beautiful. Butterflies are such a cheerful thing to see.

I’ve actually never been to the Cleveland Botanical Garden because of the butterflies! I know it sounds stupid but I have a terrible phobia of butterflies – you couldn’t pay me enough to walk into a room full of them.

I know! Their wings freak me out though.

It’s just kind of funny considering some of the truly ghoulish stuff you enjoy.

I’ve definitely been made fun of my whole life because I’m not scared of a lot of the things that freak normal people out, but I will literally flee from a butterfly. I guess the whole point of phobias are that they aren’t logical!

Don’t worry, you didn’t! I meant more like how kids used to chase me around at recess with dead butterflies. That was horrible!
