Expedition: Kisantu Botanical Gardens

Dina, Lise and Katy - Expedition members taking a break on the bug and flower filled day.
Below is a peek into the sights encountered on the expedition. 

The museum at the gardens has a nice collection of plants, insects and a few animals 

Take a walk on the grounds and check out the great variety of flowering trees and plants. 
Pastels 
And, where there are plants and flowers there are lots of ............ BUGS !!!!!
Mini butterflies only 1 centimeter tall.
A giant moth in need of a refresher course on camouflage
A big spider with a mask pattern on its abdomen
A tiny red beetley guy
An even smaller hungry looking crab spider cleaning a leg
And finally, the fantastical Blue-horned dragon caterpillar
