Stratford Butterfly Farm

[Shawn]

Hi guys took the kids to Stratford Butterfly Farm yesterday, the weather was not to good and as its is all indoors it kept them happy (for a while anyway) and only cost £18.50 for the 4 of us 

I took the opportunity to take some photos plus they got some Leaf cutters (Atta cephalotes I believe) and many other insects 

A few pics

The first Atta pic gets the Wow factor, but the butterfly ones are also excellent too! That Macro lense is working well 
We will be venturing to Marwell Zoo this summer where they too have Attas, about £36 admission for 2 but it's a big park.

Thanks
The photos are the best of hundreds, the Attas just move like lightening and  are not easy .  You would easily go around the farm in a hour or less thats why is so cheap I think but you can come and go all day long.

The first photo of the Atta worker is in such sharp focus, it just has to be a real winner for me Shawn.
