National Insect Week returns in 2020
Wednesday, June 13, 2018 - 09:30 to 18:00
Visitors can journey through the butterfly house with the chance to see the butterflies up close to enjoy the amazing colours of these delicate insects.
The location for this exhibit is next to our Cherry crowned mangabey's; just around the corner from the bottom viewing area for 'Bears of the Rising Sun'.
Not only does the exhibit house the beautiful butterflies but it is home to a number of colourful exotic plants and flowers.
Butterfly Glade is a self sufficient enclosure with a bio-mass boiler contributing to our green zoo!
Cramp-ball weevils look like bird poo, moths pretend to be lichen, caterpillars disguise as twigs with last year’s bud scars…
