The Butterflies of Cameron Highlands
The Cameron Highlands, Malaysia; is a Lepidopterist's (Butterfly collector) paradise. Besides viewing them in the garden of my hotel, and at butterfly farms, my hotel has a great collection preserved since the early 1930s. Many of these species are now extinct as the plants that the butterfies gather nectar from are now extinct due to clearing of forests for tea plantations, urbanization and climate change. The names of these butterflies are enough to sir your imagination: Jewelled Nawab, Blue Ulysses, Madagascan Sunset Moth, Chocolate Albatross, Rajah Brooke's Birdwing etc. Atlas Moth Blue Ulysses Chocolate Alba The Clipper Goliath Birdwing Green Blumei Jewelled Nawab Madasgascan Sunset Moth
