    The butterfly house is the second largest in Germany. A real tropical feeling arises during the tour through the exotic landscape with unique vegetation:
    At around 90% humidity and temperatures between 25°C and 30°C, you can marvel at around 120 different species of free-flying tropical butterflies from Africa, Asia, Central and South America.
    At times, moths with a wingspan of up to 30 cm can also be seen. 70% of the moths come directly from the countries of origin, where they are bred in special breeding farms. These arrive weekly as dolls on the island of Mainau. The remaining 30% multiply directly in the butterfly house on the respective food plants.
    There, the development from the egg to the caterpillar (larva) and pupa to the finished moth can be observed.
