or are you a butterfly lover?

Note: this post is filled with tons of pictures taken with my new Sony Cybershot W170 and it's a back dated post :P

Recently (oh-so-not-recent-now) me and my bb went back to visit his family/my in-laws in penang.. we were there just for 2 nights..

My bb took me to the butterfly farm in penang.. at first i was kinda reluctant to go coz it was hot AND i was afraid the butterflies would land on me! but i gave it a try :)

Some pictures i took of the farm :-












Am amazed of how these ugly lil creatures :-






Will turn into beautiful butterflies in just 28 days :-















And when they died, some of them would be pinned up like this :-


Also getting pinned up are these :-



Besides butterflies, there are some other creatures living in the farm :-

Mandarin ducks


Tortoises


Scorpions




Amazing huh? at first when i looked into the tank, it was pitch black.. until i pressed on the ultraviolet light switch and VIOLA!

Tarantula


And some other insects & reptiles








They also displayed some antiques.. since no cameras are allowed, i had to snap and run! :P



So, how's my photography skill?? hahahaha >.<

If you are a reptile lover, you must continue reading this.. er.. i mean continue scrolling down this page :P

This is actually quite a delayed post.. but what the heck..

The first snake which we saw was an anaconda.. i meant TWO anacondas!




The albino snakes :-






The python :-


The king cobra :-


A snake with horns :-



Eyelash viper :-


Random shots of some snakes :-










Besides the snakes, there are also some...

Monitor lizards/iguanas :-

I actually felt chilly when looking at all those cold-blooded creatures.. coz i imagined them all running loose!! isn't THAT a scary thought????
