Penang Butterfly Farm has a population of 4,000 live tropical butterflies from 120 different species. It is a well designed landscaped garden with a fish pond, and with thousands of tropical butterflies flying freely in the farms.

I am actually kinda scare of all these butterflies and insects, so I didn't pay much attention to recognise them. Here are some photos of the butterflies, you may tell me their name if you can recognise any of them.



Other than butterflies, there are also a mini zoo consisting live collection of small insect and reptiles such as grandis lizards, beetles, horned toad, oriental water dragon and many more.

Look carefully, there's a insects in this photo..

Unique beetles that look like Old style Japanese..

If you are tired seeing all these insects, you may visit Art & Artifact Gallery which exhibit South East Asian art or Gift & Souvenir Outlet for shopping.

I met 鸢鸯 (Mandarin Ducks)near the fish pond while taking photo. These 2 birds suppose to be one pair but that day they decided to stay apart.

It's a really nice experience eventhough i never fancy of insects and reptiles.
