SOUNDBITE: (English) Antoine Lelcolq, Butterfly keeper London Zoo " I am a butterfly keeper so I make sure that all the butterflies are well kept and flying free and no one is endangering their life.

We have some great species like the owl butterflies who have big eyes on their wings and they do literally look like an owl,so they are great for the public, so they can spot the eye. We also have the biggest moth in the world here so again once the public see that it changes what they see butterflies as normal British Butterflies" 12. Worlds largest moth on tree 13.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Antoine Lelcolq, Butterfly keeper London Zoo "Well butterflies don't take that much to look after I mean it is like they are in the wild here. We have flowers every were so we do not take care of that much of the feeding we make sure we can compliment their feeding with things like sugar water or bringing rotten fruit, but apart from that really its there life so we do not actually do that much" 19.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Antoine Lelcolq, Butterfly keeper London Zoo " We actually get sent the pupae from community farms in places like Costa Rica and Kenya and south east Asia. The aim is to actually help those community's by buying pupae from there. They have sustainable communities its sustainable farming so we are not endangering any of the species and at the same time we are helping hundreds of people to make a living" 21.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Antoine Lelcolq, Butterfly keeper London Zoo "The sensors help to enhance the experience for the public and the butterfly because we have background music and from there. There is a sensor in the middle of the house which can change the music as a butterfly flies past it and visitors just walk past it and this just helps make it more of a special experience for everyone" 23.
