Recently visited Penang's butterfly farm which situated near Teluk Bahang. With some impression of Melaka's butterfly farm I did not expect much. To my surprise, the butterflies are everywhere and you can even lead the butterfly to your hand. It's a great experience and shooting them weren't easy. They do not stay in one place long, and taking close-up shots need trial and error with the aperture. There were a lot of failure but it seems that there are some lesson learnt. This is the first time I encounter butterfly eggs which look like small buds hanging on the vine. Below are a few of my favorites.
