The butterflies are enclosed in a relatively small (natural) area so is easy to get good shots.  Just be mindful to look down on every step you take.  Also I recommend to dress comfortably and be ready to sweat sauna style as the humidity levels in that room must be a 101% in order to make it comfortable for the butterflies.

Here are some of my shots.
