I went to Butterfly World but...didn't expect these

[ST-EOS]

The Bride and I went to a local park today to have a look in the Butterfly World attraction. Butterfly's in great numbers but I didn't expect to see these creatures.

As always your C&C would be appreciated.

Two very contrasting images.

they have a similar lizard at the butterfly place near Swindon but he roams the butterfly house freely. You did well through the glass

Thanks for your comments Dave, Di and Stan.

Stan if the reptile had been free to roam, my better half would have been out of there faster than Ussain Bolt in record breaking mode 😜

Thanks Peter, I didn't realise they had anything other than butterflies in there, I may have to persuade Mrs Bill to pay them a visit.

It's worth a visit Bill but just check when they close down for the winter I missed out last year as I left it too late.

Thanks for your comments Tom and Paul. I was pleasantly surprised at how well this came out, especially as I was shooting through glass.
