Butterfly Park Benalmadena (Mariposario de Benalmadena)
Just on the edge of the pretty village of Benalmadena
Pueblo you will f ind the colourf ul world of the Mariposariode
Benalmadena butt erf ly Park. It is open every day of
the week f rom 10am 6pm (not closed for s iesta) and
houses more than 1,500 butterf lies. Throughout the whole
year more than 150 dif f erent species f rom tropical areas
all
over the world are exhibited here. With each new visit you
will find new species to see as their life span is only 2-3
weeks.
The environmental conditions of the park match that of the
butterf lies natural habitats with the temperature being
between 24-29 degrees Celsius with humidity at 80%.
Many of the species reproduce in the park itself , so as
well
as butterf lies you can watch the f ascinating stages of their
biological cycle, observe their courtship
f lights and mating and see the cycle f rom eggs to
caterpillars. As new butterf lies are born every day in
the nursery you wouldnt want to miss the rare opportunity of
seeing how they hatch f rom the chrysalis,
open their wings and take their f irst f light.
Alongside the but terf lies you will f ind an array of plants
that are essential f or their lif e. Each species ofbutterf ly
needs a specif ic plant to lay its eggs in. This is called the Host
Plant. This close relationship
between plants and butterf lies is a result o f millions of
years of evolution. It is important that f emale
butterf lies f ind and recognise their host plants among the
vast bo tanical diversity of the t ropical forests .
With so many amazing natural sights to see you wont want to f
orget your camera. Taking photo graphs
