Butterflies and other Disgusting Bugs

We thought the butterfly garden might be another meet-up spot for our new-found birding friends. Imagine our surprise when I ended up holding a live tarantula (caught in the garden earlier this week). I also had a chance to bond with a female praying mantis, a long-time favourite insect of mine, due to its adept relationship management techniques (a.k.a. biting off the heads of lovers). Brendan also had a chance to rekindle long-lost friendships -did you know there are more than 30 species of cockroaches?

Oh yes, and of course, there were butterflies. Very pretty. Apparently poisonous to eat. And bloody hard to photograph.
