Butterfly World is not only home to more than 24 species of exotic butterflies, but boasts a variety of birds, marmoset monkeys, and several magnificent iguanas. In addition, there are hair-raising displays of indigenous and exotic spiders and scorpions, housed in locked glass boxes.

They are raised on breeding farms in countries such as Costa Rica, Philippines, Malaysia and China. The pupae are then flown to display parks where the butterflies emerge into their tropical gardens. There’s display boards that outline the life-cycle, and which are dotted with pupae in various stages, and if you’re lucky you get to watch the fascinating process of a butterfly emerging.

We have many exciting projects lined up! We shall choose several from: exploring the theme of drawing and painting people and portraits in various media (acrylic on canvas being one); making clay relief tiles; a much loved project of etching in oil pastels, based on the work of Andrew Verster (and translated into other themes as well); creating personal heraldic coats-of-arms; and/or making chunky textured collages on an environmental theme.
