February 05, 2004A Visit to the Cameron Highland Bug Farm
As the title mentions, I visited the Bug Farm. AHHH!!! It's a dangerous species!!!!!! This bug was completely hidden and when I looked into the tank, all I saw was a pile of green leaves. This is the national butterfly of Malaysia. She's lost a bit of her wing because too many people handle them. This rhinocerous beetle was downright scary and definately belongs on the "dangerous species" list. The legs of the beetle could easily fit around my wrist. And finally, here is a view of the beautiful BOH tea estate that was enroute to the bug farm. Comments
Ok, that beetle is downright scary! My husband was leaning over my shoulder has decided it is cool. For some reason Japanese boys/men love gigantic beetles. When they are kids, they collect them in large insect cages and keep them as pets. Now he wants to go to Malaysia just so he can find one of those beetles. Geesh.

But I gotta admit, the beetle is kinda cool... and the walking leaf. Posted by: Ant on February 5, 2004 10:51 AMI am sure all of these bugs are cool- as long as they are in captivity!!! I think I would freak out if I saw that beetle in my bathroom one early morning!!! I mean, we think roaches are bad.....but they are nothing compared to the bug farm.

The grasshopper was almost the length of my hand, and the walking stick was about 10 inches long. Posted by: Claudia on February 6, 2004 07:26 AM |
