Siam Insect Zoo

 We asked Parr if he had ever visited the Insect Zoo  among other tourist business we saw on the way home and no, he hadn't.  The tiger cages yes, the snakes, affirmative but not one party on his tours in Chiang Mai had asked him to stop to see the insects.
It may sound uninspiring to visit a bunch of dead bugs and butterflies under glass cases but in fact that is only part of the display at Siam Insect Zoo.
This is an interactive world insect museum with live insect breeding , a butterfly garden and a few very keen budding biologists working there to anticipate all your questions.    There is a reptile section also.

Its called Siam Insect Zoo in Chiang Mai and here are a few pictures from our visit.

These huge leaf insects were one of my favorites.  They look like fairies to me.
