One of the most enjoyable experiences at the EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival is Butterfly Landing. You walk into an rather large enclosure that is filled with several different species of butterflies. They're all flying around and visiting the various flowers. There are signs to help you both identify the plants and butterflies as well as learn a little more about them.
For example, this White Peacock Butterfly is a member of the Brush-Footed Butterfly family. They only walk on four of their six legs, using the front two to detect chemicals found in leaves and flowers. And when they fly, they zigzag to avoid predators.
