Visit to the Butterfly Farm in Phuket, Thailand

By golly! It's a cat! Okay, a caterpillar. : - )
#41

Some beautiful orchids. : - )
#42

Okay, how many b.fly's do you see in this photo?
#43

Zooming in. This plant seems to attract these white b.fly's like crazy! : - )
#44

Isn't this one a real beauty! This despite the chomp taken out of one of it's wings.
: - )
#45

A twofer! : - )
#46

Boy them cats get around. LOL! This may be the same one we saw previously. :-)
#47

What's not to love in this photo?
A threefer? LOL! : - )
#48

One of the brown ones that look like a dead leaf. If only it would open it wings. They are so pretty when they do! : - )
#49

Same b.fly with wings open. It's blurry but you can get an idea of the colors and markings on the top side of it's wings. I think it's getting a drink. : - )
#50

Some pretty birds they had incarcerated, probably so they didn't eat all the b.fly's.
#51

OMG, it's an improbable Anthurium plant! ; - )
#52

Part of the b.fly nursery. : - )
#53

This one appears to have just hatched out, or maybe it just wants out! LOL! : - )
#54

More of the nursery. : - )
#55

A golden treasure indeed! : - )
#56

I think this one is a toddler. It didn't seem to want to leave the nursery. : - )
#57

The newly hatched b.fly's seemed to like whatever is in that plastic cup. Kept coming back to it. : - )
#58

Now I get what those bamboo rods mentioned earlier (photo #17) are for. The workers are standing on them like scaffolding to do repair work on the structure. : - )
Boy, do I wish I was still that nimble and had a sense of balance.
#59

Back to the b.fly nursery. Seems like there are more hatchlings and toddlers about in this photo! : - )
#60

Two little b.fly dancers. : - )
#61

You know this b.fly makes brown look good! LOL! : - )
Or maybe it's that yellow racing stripe?
#62

Isn't that a wasp nest? Don't they eat the pupae? I wonder if they know it's there?
#63

Lovely, just lovely. : - )
#64

Pansy colored, bell shaped flowers. Sorry about the blurriness, but someone bumped me. Rats!
#65

I thought this window was pretty cool looking. I like the colorful streaks that almost appear to be flower inspired. : - )
#66

I saw a lot of these guys in Kuala Lumpur. And a big nasty one bit me (thanks for thinking of me taking the Benedryl, Margaret, it came in handy!) one day in Phuket when we went walking on what they call a beach. That one was still attached to me when we got back to our room at the resort, and DH had to pull it off my leg, cause it wasn't going to let go of me, even if it was already dead.
I made a deal with the small black guys, they'd leave me alone and I wouldn't kill 'em.
The truce held for the rest of our stay! : - )
#67

Big long, fuzzy looking red trailing blossoms. Bottlebrush family? Pretty aren't they?
: - )
#68

Flower, b.fly or both?
#69

Some kind of berry or seed. And I left them there. I figured the photo was heavy enough. LOL! : - )
#70

Aw, it's so pretty! : - )
#71

Another b.fly feeding table. I guess the b.fly was full because he took off when I turned to look at it. : - |
#72

Here is one posing for me on the table. : - )
#73

I think their flower arrangements/feeding stations are beautifully done too!
#74

Another little b.fly to delight the eye! : - )
#75

A blurry b.fly heading to that lantana.
#76

A whole bunch of pretty flowers. : - )
#77

Just a pretty flower.
#78

Playing with the macro again. : - )
#79

Well this little fella might be responsible for those bite marks on some of the b.fly's.
