Butterflies & Trolls

The South Coast Botanical Gardens has a temporary butterfly house.  The younger two wanted to see it so we went today.

We each got a nectar lollipop and were able to attract quite a few butterflies!

Our favorite was this glass-wing butterfly.  None of us could entice it to come to our nectar, but I still got a picture.



There was also an Emergence Station.  We got to see a Malachite emerge!

All the cocoons were different sizes and so interesting to see!



Afterwards we visited the trolls again.  It was a beautiful morning to be out for a walk!
