Bohol Habitat Conservation Center Butterfly Sanctuary, located in Poblacion, Bilar, Bohol, is
a conservation area for a variety of butterfly species, dedicated to the
protection, growth, and spreading awareness about butterflies. The center aims to help improve the
livelihood of the locals by teaching them how to breed butterflies, which play an important role in caring for our environment. Set in a beautifully landscaped garden with a
variety of rare and colorful flowers, the place is definitely refreshing sight to behold.
They provide you with free tour guides, who are very polite, informative, funny, and entertaining. They don't just tell you about the fun facts, but in some cases let you see and experience them for yourselves. They made our visit extremely enjoyable.
Below is a pair of butterfly species. Contrary to common belief, the female butterflies are actually bigger than their male counter parts. However, the males have more colorful and unique designs on their wings to be able to attract females. Similar to courting in the humans.
There is approximately 300 species of butterflies native to Bohol, and more than half can be found here at Habitat Conservation Center. A colorful caterpillar doesn't necessary turn into a more beautiful butterfly. It is actually the opposite.
Get up close and personal with the butterflies and caterpillars, so you can examine them for yourself. Did you know that butterfly caterpillars don't actually have hairs that make you itch, rather the hairy ones usually turn into moths?
With a little trick photography, you can get yourself a cool set of butterfly wings or become a temporary backdrop to a butterfly.
Just like paradise, enjoy the view and have your picture take along the beautifully landscaped garden.
