Butterfly Park in Phuket is a large butterfly breeding farm. The park is considered to be the largest and the best in the whole world. The date of his appearance is February 1990.
In addition to the butterflies themselves, there are a huge number of other interesting insects. This is due to the fact that the world of insects is the most numerous of all animal species. They make up about eighty percent of all living creatures on Earth, and appeared at a time when there was no man. That is why they are so well adapted to different living conditions.
The excursion begins with the insectarium. This is a kind of museum, which presents a variety of collections. There are beetles, wasps, bees, ants, scorpions, crickets, grasshoppers, flies, dragonflies, moths, tarantulas. After visiting it, you can go directly to the garden itself. In it beautiful multi-colored butterflies flutter everywhere, so it seems to many people as if they were in paradise. For about forty species, specialists have created a natural habitat. After breeding, some of the butterflies are released into nature, giving them the opportunity to increase their population further. The most interesting thing is to see the full cycle of their life. People who work there will be happy to tell and show butterflies in the process of mating, their larvae, pupae, and even the process of the appearance of a butterfly! Here you can find out what is the difference between a moth and a butterfly, how to breed them correctly, and much more. In addition, the merit of this garden is also that all insects were grown here and are protected, which makes it possible to preserve some endangered species.
In the butterfly park on the island of Phuket, in addition to its main inhabitants, there are many more interesting things that you should pay close attention to. First of all, it is a variety of plants, flowers, trees, of which a huge number of species grows there. You should also pay attention to the Oriole, whose singing can be heard from any corner of the garden, and also an unapproved turtle is very popular. It is huge, and lives in a pond in the middle of this park, along with various fish. To see her is a great success, since she is not shown to everyone and not always.
Separately, it should be said that in the park for excursions you can photograph butterflies, fish, birds. An interesting service is feeding butterflies. To do this, you just need to lubricate the hand with a specially designed food. This is a great place to relax for those who do not suffer from insectophobia (the so-called fear of insects). This place is especially recommended for a joint visit with children.
