We are down to three left ! So over the next couple of weeks , they should continue to be our star attraction to the visitors of 'Butterfly Conservatory of Goa'. Also breeding currently are a horde of blue tiger moths , Red Pierrots , Common Mime , Giant Redeye and Mormons. Can't get a better time for enthusiasts interested in life cycles.
