These are two Owlwing butterflys feeding from some very ripe bananas.
A view of part of the house.
This is one of the two Red Legged Terrapins who share the house with the butterfly's.
The house also had a thriving population of air plants.
This little thing is an Oak Gall, inside the gall is the larva of a type of wasp, the hard exterior gives protection from predators.
Much of the natural rock in the park is stained by iron ore deposits.
This is a hatching cabinet in the house where the cocoons are kept out of harms way , untill the butterfly's emerge.
This beautiful butterfly is called a Glass wing.
Hope you enjoyed looking at the pictures.
