Papillons

papillons

One Saturday in April 2005, we spent the entire morning at La Vanille Crocodile Park. The park is well maintained and much of it is like a nature walk. We saw plenty of crocodiles, some interesting fruit bats, lots of geckos, monkeys, and mongooses.

They have here an amazing insectarium where thousands of insects are beautifully displayed. An entomologist who lives in Africa worked on these exhibits for 30 years. All of are neatly labelled in his beautiful handwriting. There were bugs and creepy-crawlies of all sorts. The butterflies were beautiful and the spiders scary!
