When I bought my ticket, the lady asked me to please watch out for the blue parrots, which had not learned to fly yet. They were flying from their seed dish up into this plant and back. I was glad not to see them in danger of being stepped on!
Lovely to see butterflies again. I particularly like the Swallowtail Mocker. I have never seen anything like that before. Hopefully it won't be too long until we see butterflies out and about this year.
ReplyDeleteIt was! I am still trying to ID the others. It's a time-consuming project! I wish the place would provide a gallery of its butterflies with the names, but they don't. It is a good place to visit in the deep mid winter, but I really like seeing them in their native habitat better.
DeleteIf you search for Guy Padfield butterfly-house pictures he has put together a page of butterflies commonly found in collections to help aid identification. You may find some of your butterflies there.
DeleteThanks! I did find more on there and bookmarked it for future reference!
