Local Attraction Details

The Butterfly Farm
Tel: 345/946-3411
 
Lovers of the beautiful, elusive butterfly flock to Grand Cayman's latest attraction. Here, you can enter an area enclosed in mesh where butterflies from all over the world flutter freely.
 
You'll find a wealth of information on the butterfly life cycle here. We learned that females perpetuate the butterfly world, as males spend most of their lives getting drunk on rotten fruit. The males flit about showing off their vivid, beautiful wings, trying to attract the females (who are usually drably colored in comparison).

The farm also features several species of moths, including the Atlas moth, the largest moth in the world. With a typical wingspan of 36 centimeters (14 in.), it's the size of a small bird.

Guided tours take you through the farm. The staff will answer all of your questions -- and then some -- about butterflies.
