In Emmen´s "Vlindertuin" (Butterfly Garden) they show freeranging hummingbirds. Got really exited when my companion spotted one. Seen loads of them in central and south America but they´re pretty rare in european zoos, as they are so hard to breed.
Last time I saw one was in Walsrode´s special "hummingbird house".
Amazilia amazilia, Lessons Hummingbird, Rostbauchamazilie
They also showed the most amazing butterfly I´ve seen yet, no colors but one of the best examples of Mimesis, even complete with the holes in the "leaf":
And the caterpillar of Papilio memnon, wich looks a but like a snakehead. By now I like the caterpillars as much as the adult form, they come in many shapes, sizes and colors, too:
