Sloths are ugly but cute...they look like they smile :)



SeeThrough snail in my kitchen!






This dude popped out of my parsley. I bought him inside to take some photos. I put him back outside again later. I really liked him. He was quite fast for a snail.

Glass Winged butterflies




This butterfly is special. It has see through wings. Opaque in colour towards the edges. Also knows as the "snow fly" as they have fluffy white fur on their bodies. Somethings quite special is the sound that the wings make in a breeze. Similar to a soft chime that blows in the wind. Or often described as soft tingling sounds. It really only eats hrugchuck grass which is found in Iceland. And only really eats once a month when it becomes an adult. They are known to be rather laid back and may land on you for a visit. They do not mind being friendly.
