Penang-Butterfly-Farm

Went to the Penang Butterfly Farm lask weekend to try out my new Kenko extension tube. It was quite challenging to get a good macro shot hand held and I had to boost my camera ISO to about 800 to 1600 most of the time. Enjoy...

Butterfly-egg Here goes the life cycle of a butterfly starting from these eggs.

Butterfly-Farm-05 The next metamorphosis of butterfly is the larva. This green caterpillar is among the better looking caterpillar in this farm. I wonder what butterfly species will it transform to later.

Penang-Butterfly-Farm-03 An adult butterfly. This is just one of the many butterfly species seen here. Surprisingly, there are a few Raja Brooke butterly that usually found in Cameron Highlands.

Penang-Butterfly-Farm-04 I found this flower very unique. Twinkle twinkle little flower!

Monkey-Cup-01 There are a few pitcher plant species in this butterfly farm. Some people call them as monkey cups as they collect rain water and became part of the drinking water for the monkey.

Pitcher-plant Here goes another one...

Spider-01

Gecko There are some other creatures upon exiting the farm such as the rhinoceros beetles, scorpions, geckos (as above picture) and tarantulas.
