Beautiful Butterflies

I have always loved seeing butterflies. I remember some of my sewing projects when I was in primary school involved butterfly designs. From ugly wriggly things they eventually blossom into wonderful fluttering creatures. There's something very zen about butterflies that simply makes me happy.

Taking photos of butterflies is a challenging task. I still try to capture them on camera though coz they are nice to use as a device wallpaper. Here's a few decent photos I took of butterflies (some may be moths!).

I love butterflies and I still remember a butterfly pillow embroidery project I made in grade school. It took me loads of time to finish, but I certainly enjoyed the project since I was doing a replica of something I love. 

I was amazed the first time I went to the Davao Butterfly House last March and I knew I had to bring Miguel to see it for himself. I knew he was also going to enjoy taking photos of the animated-colorful creatures. And I was right.

Here are a couple of photos from the two trips I made to the Davao Butterfly House:

I've loved butterflies eversince I was a kid and I always marveled at how they become very beautiful creatures when they come out from their ugly cocoons. At the Davao Butterfly House we saw (and touched) the alien looking caterpillars that would eventually transform into butterflies. Here are some of them:

I was surprised to see so many butterflies upon entering the Butterfly House. They were flying around, crawling on the floor, drinking water on festive plates and mating!

I even had a very up-close and personal experience with one of the pretty brown butterflies (someone said on Plurk that it's a good luck omen!). Here's a video of that experience:

Aside from the butterflies, the Davao Butterfly House also boasts of lush vegetation and a pond. You can also take a glimpse at the
