Today we vistied The Butterfly Farm in Costa Rica!! This was agreat start to our trip! The seanery was beautiful and the butterflies were so so clue!! Are tour guide Danny was very fun and full of interesting facts. We learned about butterfly metemorphasis and saw each phase of the prossess. We saw eggs, larva(baby catapillers), catapillers, puppa(or cocoon) and of course the butterflies. We even got to see a butterfly hatch from its cocoon. This is a very rare thing to see and we Actually got to see 3 emerge today.
We also got a chance to hold the butterflies! While expericing the butterflies our tour guide Dannie Gave us facts about the different species of butter flies and why the were given thier names. We also learned about the monarch butterfly and the migration paths they take!
There was also creepy crawly things like the HUGE BROWN catapiller that eventualy truned into the Owl Butterfly. EWWWW LANE!!!
The butterfly farm was a great experience and I am so excited for the rest of the trip!!!! PURA VIDA!!!! By: Kara Floyd :)
