Butterfly-performance

[Niklas Wahlberg]

Hi,
    Yep, my name is Swedish, but I am a Finn, though living in Stockholm 
now! Yes I know the butterfly house, it's a great place to visit with the 
kids in the winter. They see that butterflies can actually be alive (unlike 
the specimens in pappa's collection!). You might want to contact the local 
butterfly house in Holland, they may be able to suggest which species would 
be most appropriate for your performance. I'm afraid getting local species 
will not be possible, for that you should have started last summer! And you 
should do it indoors, otherwise you will be standing naked without any 
butterflies near you! You might want to do a practice run before commiting 
yourself to the performance. I like the idea, but I don't know if I would 
bring my kids to see it... :-) I wish you good luck!

Cheers,
Niklas
