Nature-Butterflies AKA Flying Flowers

"Butterflies are gentle whispers from Mother Nature."

While on the Grand Cayman Island recently, I visited a butterfly farm. The farm is still rebuilding from a hurricane that destroyed the site some years ago. Measures are now in place to protect and preserve the facility and its inhabitants. When a hurricane is predicted to hit the Grand Caymans, the butterfly farm collects each butterfly and takes them to a safe haven until the storm passes. This massive job takes as much as 6 hours with all employees working to complete the task before the storm hits the island.
