In our breeding center we present an informative slide show on the life-cycle of butterflies. We also expand into interesting facts about these amazing creatures. the slide show is optional but should not be missed.
For parents with young children, a walk-through tour is available. Unlike most other butterfly farms which purchase butterflies already in the pupa stage, we work entirely with indigenous butterflies and visitors are therefore able to witness the complete life-cycle of these miraculous creatures. If you are lucky enough, you may witness a butterfly emerging from its pupa and pumping fluid through its wings to expand them. The process takes about fifteen to twenty minutes after which, the butterfly will hang upside down for an hour or two for its wings to dry. Truly a remarkable sight to see.
