Tourists kill 2,400 butterflies at Shanghai Botanic Garden

Chinese tourists on National Holiday killed roughly 300 butterflies a day at the Shanghai Botanic Garden - meaning that the destination has lost around 2,400 of the insects over the last eight days. It tried to hire three volunteers to prevent visitors from grabbing at the butterflies to take pictures of themselves with the insects, but three volunteers apparently couldn't do much versus 10,000 visitors. Ginkgo trees, which tourists shook for fruit, were also damaged. Source: Shanghai Daily
