  1. Great shot. Are those things hanging the chrysalis ? Like a cocoon ? Posted 10 years ago
    1. Thank you :) - yes that's right, in the 'Butterfly Zone' there is a cupboard with wooden doors at the end of the room. It was full of chrysalis from all different species. I've got the pictures somewhere, I'll see if I can find one worthy of uploading! Posted 10 years ago
