Our knowledgable and really friendly Butterfly Farm Tour Guide

The Butterfly Eggs - on the host plant

Yep, you guessed it! Caterpillars...

Chrysalis - It was moving!  Really Cool

Gracie's new pet.

She got Natalie to hold one too.

Gracie's got another butterfy

question: "What's Natalie doing?"

What do you see???  (Not talking about the guy in the glasses back there.) What animal
 do you see on the wings?  Hint: It says "whooooo whoooo" - great defense mechanism!!

Mission Accomplished!  Gracie got her hands on the "Queen of the Jungle"

On our Jungle Walk

The National Park - Cabo Blanco - 

Local mercado in Cabuyo.  Our Butterfly Farm tour guide was from this little town. He told us that 1% of kids from his town go on to University. He was in the 1%.  He is studying to be a biologist/secondary teacher and is really involved in the eco-movement.  

My new amigo!  ;o)
