Butterfly World
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.
