Butterflies just make you feel you are in a magical place. And KL has more and much bigger ones than Bangkok.
Dragonfly too
The Malaysian National butterfly: Raja Brooke’s Birdwing. They have a really cool underside as well. They had so many that were really big and spectacular Or just bright and beautiful Or again really hugeAnd familiar from Taman NegaraAnd sometimes they land in you to drink your sweat. It feels really weird for them to crawl around a little. They also had other bugs on display. I am quite sure I have never seen any insect this large. Close up of the face. 🙂And such a pretty turtle And such a cranky frog. We were hot and sweaty and knew we needed AC and went to the planetarium. But we were also more hungry than we planned, so didn’t stay very long. And found ourselves at the KL bird park restaurant and it was monkey o’clock.There were more youngsters and babies than we saw in the national park. Sadly, I think they are well fed by humans despite signs telling people not to. Lunch itself was also joined by this guy (cattle egret) and his friends who know where to get a meal. It is pretty neat to be in the bird enclosure for lunch and the visitors were respectful enough. On the walk home. The juxtaposition of old and new is always so surprising to us Americans.
