Tonle Sap Lake Fishing Village

Tonle Sap Lake water levels rise during the rainy season covering the road. Houses are built on stilts so people are above the water level. You can see the smoke down the road where the fish is smoked.

There are tours of the lake with Peace of Angkor Tours

From Laura: The single butterfly feeding on nectar is the Spotted Zebra (Graphium megarus, Swallowtail family). This is a recent addition to the farmed species at BBC.

From Laura: The two orange butterflies with white and black tips are the Leopard Lacewing (Cethosia cyane - family Nymphalidae). These are very pretty and relatively easy to breed and so we receive a fair number from the farmers.

Caterpillars at the Angkor Butterfly Center

 

From Laura: The lovely fat white larva is the Atlas moth (Attacus atlas) - a Saturniid moth native to SE Asia. (same family as the silk moth and in terms of wing surface area, the largest moth in the world). It feeds on a wide variety of food plants including citrus species, but we found our local Cambodian Atlas larvae did best feeding on cashew.

Caterpillars at the Angkor Butterfly Center

From Laura: The two green caterpillars/larvae are feeding on lime and are the Great Mormon, (Papilio memnon - Papilionidae or Swallowtail family). In this species there are many different female forms in the adult stage - we have observed 3 of these at BBC though one particular one is the most common.
