Neofauna Butterfly Farm



This tour was spectacular. We were able to see many frogs, toads, snakes and butterflies. Other than the butterflies, all species are kept for only 2 months and then released back into their natural environment.  Our guide was a young fellow, who studied biology. He had a real passion for all the insects and reptiles.  Here are a few of my many photos ...






These little green frogs remained in the cage because they are highly poisonous. All the frogs have some degree of poison.



The snakes were very interesting. The yellow viper was the smallest, but most dangerous snake.



The deadly yellow viper. Can strike in a mini-second. Very small, deadly snake.


The very brave Francine wore this lovely snakelace!


The butterflies were my favourite. There were 60 varieties and it was quite a challenge to photograph them.





This is the butterfly's tongue!

The weather continues to be hot and sunny. Absolutely perfect. Andrew arrived today and hasn't left the pool. Down to the ocean in a while .... we can hear the surf pounding from our deck.

Love to all....
