Papilio Beauty of Bantimurung

When was the last time you saw a butterfly with appreciable amounts of? If you answered my question with a frown which can mean "It seems so long ago ..", you must visit the best travel destinations the National Park Bantimurung !

Has long been known Bantimurung Bulusaraung for many butterfly (Papilio) which adorn the natural attractions are located in Maros, Pangkep, South Sulawesi. There, you will be greeted with a large butterfly sculptures seemed to welcome the guests who came. Not to mention a variety of souvenirs such as earrings, brooches, pendants, key chains, picture frames, and much more on the theme or shape of a butterfly.

The first place that a destination is Bantimurung. Bantimurung is a butterfly museum. The museum was small, but can document many types and varieties of butterflies. Not only derived from Bantimurung, but also from Timor, Seram Island, and various places that the habitat of the butterfly.

After the museum, then headed towards the butterfly breeding. Based on Mr. Rusman museum guard who is also a butterfly breeder, there are two ways to preserve the butterfly. With formalin (butterfly colors so faded, but this way relatively quickly done by people who do not care), and by providing 100% alcohol and dried for 2-3 days in the sun.

When you get there, if not too many flying butterflies dancing in front of you. According to Mr. Rusman butterflies are not extinct, but he only spawn in certain moments, so that its presence will be more frequently seen in January, May, and August. In my opinion anyway, the butterfly is not reduced simply because the human factor (the deadly butterfly solely for personal gain), but also natural factors like the decline in quality places to live butterflies.
