On the subject of butterflies yet again, we have been spending some quality time in the Butterfly Pavilion at the London Natural History Museum www.nhm.ac.uk today with its amazing creator Luke Brown, www.thebutterflygardener.co.uk . This man really knows his stuff and is passionate about his subjects. Superb display too with quite literally hundreds of butterflies flying at any given time, plenty of species, great layout and fabulous planting. Take your time in there to watch them and try to find some caterpillars. Friendly staff are there and will happily chat to you answering any questions you have. Wear clothes so that you can take some layers off, take a bottle of water with you and pass some time sat on the benches – it is a truly beautiful experience.............
Owl Butterfly Caligo memnon caterpillar from South America and a Indian Leaf Butterfly at rest Kallima inachus, just look at that for camouflage - spectacular!
