I always like butterfly gardens, and it made a good stop in the rain.
There are always lots of butterflies, the question is whether they sit still in a spot where I can photograph them. I also prefer to get them in natural settings - not sitting on the wall or on the fruit they put out for them, even though that is where they tend to sit still.
There were also a few caterpillars around. This interesting looking one is from the Giant Owl Butterfly,
And a few other miscellaneous insects, including leafcutter ants. Leafcutter ants have different "castes" which vary in size. I assume the two in this photo are two different castes. The smaller "minors" are actually the soldiers that defend the foragers.
Praying mantis are a favorite of mine.
There were also parrots and flamingos, and a few turtles.
