Butterfly Park Bali

Saturday Snapshot is a meme hosted by Alyce from At Home With Books.

The rules are simple:

To participate in the Saturday Snapshot meme post a photo that you (or a friend or family member) have taken and leave a direct link to your post in the Mister Linky. Photos can be old or new, and be of any subject as long as they are clean and appropriate for all eyes to see. How much detail you give in the caption is entirely up to you. Please don’t post random photos that you find online.  

I've never been to a butterfly park before, so I have nothing to compare the Bali Butterfly Park Taman Kupu Kupu with. When we first walked in, I thought "uh oh this could be disappointing."
The entrance was devoid of character, information or any kind of pizazz. And when we first went into the park we looked at each other as if to say "where are the butterflies?"

But our quiet wandering proved successful as we realised that there were plenty of butterflies hovering around the ceiling and if we waited long enough, they would fly down to land on flowers for fabulous photo opportunities!
 




 
 

We also spotted a number of dragonflies in the enclosure and I was delighted to snap this close-up.

 
In the middle of the park was a raised platform showcasing the bizarre and curious insects of Bali.
Below is one that has evolved to look like a leaf.

The biggest stick insects I've ever seen!

The hatching area below.
 
 
And a curious insect that has evolved to look like an orchid!

I was pretty pleased with myself for capturing this shot of a bee in action!
His little bottom was quivering with delight. And when he finally came up for air, he looked around drunkenly before stumbling onto the next flower.
