Today I accompanied the DIS science club up to the Daegu Butterfly Museum which is a short 10 minute or so walk from our school. The museum is located along side the giant lake near the school. The lake, which I took pictures of, has wake boarding, paddle-boats, a walking path around it, and various courts and sitting areas. It is nice and cool up there due to the breezes off the water and there is plenty to do... especially to see the butterfly museum.
The museum is in two piece. It has the actual museum area which has all kinds of butterflies that have died and have been put into stasis in glass cages. There were butterflies there that I had never seen before with some of the most amazing colors I have seen... some of them had markings like you would see on a tree, and others had these bright, bright blue wings that looked like they had been painted. I have seen some of the biggest bugs ever while I have been here in Korea, and these butterflies were no different... I was also able to take pictures of some of the other bugs that they had in the museum.
Once we had exhausted the tour of the "dead" bugs, we went to the other area that had live butterflies inside a green house. These butterflies floated and flew around you as you walked the rock path around the green house. The butterflies were really fun to watch and I managed to snap a couple of pictures of them when they landed on plants... I also took plenty of pictures of the flowers and plants within the greenhouse... that had some of the best colors that I had ever seen.
All in all, I had an excellent time tagging along on the science, after-school field trip. I felt like I took some amazing pictures and I am happy to know that I can go up there when I want and spend more time taking a look at the different species of butterflies here in Korea.
