Butterfly Farm in Bohol, Philippines

Butterfly Farm in Bohol, Philippines

by Jonny Blair

While touring round Bohol in the Philippines there is the option to visit a butterfly centre. It's called Flying Colours and the most surprising thing of all is that it's quite good and very enjoyable!

The cost to get inside is 35 Philippine Pesos which is reasonable - once inside you get a guided tour from a lady that works there and knows all about caterpillars and butterflies. She can help you take photos and will explain all about the life of a caterpillar to a butterfly. This was my first time in such a place and I enjoyed it.

At the start you see lots of caterpillars, housed in a box. Some of them are big green ones and this was the first time I saw a caterpillar bigger than my finger! You can hold them of course. They stay in their glass boxes until they become a cocoon. After a few weeks suddenly that worm like green caterpillar has become a butterfly! You get to understand the whole process a bit better.

After that you can see the biggest butterfly in the Philippines, which has been preserved in a box. It's pretty big! Plus they have also preserved a moth, again photos are welcome and you can get fun ones taken to pretend you have butterfly wings!

The last section of your tour at the centre will be outside where you can see and hold lots of butterflies. Different colours are here too. This is a place worth seeing and the travelling lifestyle will make you enjoy it more.
