Next stop was a ‘butterfly farm’. Every town in Malaysia seems to have one of these.
The brochure says “Behind what is visible to you visitors is a complicated yet systematic operation consisting of extensive R&D and breeding activities that support what you see in the farm garden.”
That walking stick is more than a foot long. The longest ever recorded was 55cm.
This guy (above) was about as long as my hand. I was leaning in to take a close-up when I caught the phrase “spines can pierce human flesh” on the plaque.
