You could be forgiven for thinking a "Butterfly Centre" is a boring way to spend an hour of your travel time. But then we ended up in this quality Butterfly Centre called "Flying Colours" as part of our tour round Bohol island in The Philippines. We were quite surprised by it!
It was my first time to visit a butterfly centre. So what actually happens here? First up the entry cost is 35 Philippine Pesos. Works out less than $1 US Dollar so paying it is not an issue. The price includes a guided tour - a lady basically tells you about butterflies, takes you round the sanctuary and helps you take photos.
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.
You get to see the world's largest moth as well and the biggest butterfly native to the Philippines. These are dead however and you will see them in a box, preserved. You can pose for fun photos with them and also with pretend butterfly wings. It is a really brilliant experience and a magical place to visit.
Final part of the tour is basically for getting photos of butterflies. We had them on our noses, chins etc. for photos. It was a short and sweet tour but I really enjoyed it. These random moments of travel are what makes me tick and realise why I love a lifestyle of travel.
