When you think about a butterfly centre you might think it would be boring, but believe me this place was fantastic. A real surprise - you can visit a place called Flying Colours in Bohol in the Philippines.
The cost to get inside is 35 Philippine Pesos which is reasonable - once inside you get a guided tour from a lady that works there and knows all about caterpillars and butterflies. She can help you take photos and will explain all about the life of a caterpillar to a butterfly. This was my first time in such a place and I enjoyed it.
At the start you see lots of caterpillars, housed in a box. Some of them are big green ones and this was the first time I saw a caterpillar bigger than my finger! You can hold them of course. They stay in their glass boxes until they become a cocoon. After a few weeks suddenly that worm like green caterpillar has become a butterfly! You get to understand the whole process a bit better.
You get to see the world's largest moth as well and the biggest butterfly native to the Philippines. These are dead however and you will see them in a box, preserved. You can pose for fun photos with them and also with pretend butterfly wings.
At the end of the tour you are outside in the garden and you can see lots of butterflies of different colours and get photos of them. I totally love a lifestyle of travel and these places are really amazing to see.
