No there weren't - strange eh they acted like it was natural. I was pleased with that. Kind of how it should be. Just had to make sure they left them alone and didn't get too close.

Nope I think I just got lucky Or maybe it was the butterflies them selves and their energy.

I love how they actually attach to one another. I have never seen that before. I was dragging all of the people in the place with cameras over to see it. LOL
Thanks
