Butterfly world, St.Albans

We went to butterfly world in St.Albans

It's a mixture of "new style" gardens and a butterfly house. Eventually the butterflies will be in a "dome"



But as you can see its not built yet.



You can see lots of butterflies in what is really a big shed.







I think this one is a moth




They also have lots of small gardens (for inspiration)




(That is crushed glass on the ground and steel wires with cardboard for flowers)




Can you guess the plant?



A large pot needs.......


Large fork



Large pots with lots of soil also get.........

Large ants

I thought the best "idea" was

Its the toilets.

Overall we thought it was worth the £5 each to get in, lots of open spaces, so I guess there will be more "objects" at some time.
Pity the "biome" is not finished (or not started by the looks of it) its worth a visit on a sunny afternoon, but don't go thinking there are thousands of butterflies, because as I said they are in just a large shed for the time being.

 

Excellent, you're right, that is a moth, Attacus Atlas, the silk moth

 

Interesting.
found this on 'tinternet Butterfly World Project

 

Sounds like they are running a bit behind then,
