Hi all!
For the first time here i decied to post some pics of our local Leningrad Zoo (in city of the Sankt-Petersburg and the Leningrad was his former name before famous "Perestroyka").
This post is dedicated not for all the Zoo expositions but just to the just 2 days ago opened excibition of the living butterfly, dry insects educational collection and some arthropods.
As a contributor for the Zoo (my wife is currently a Zoo worker) on mt limited spare time I take part in some places of the exposition.
So, beautiful living butterflies for the first time in the beautiful city of the Sankt-Petersburg
Enjoy.
P>S> I knew I'm a little bit quicker than it needs as I'm currently working on the english version of the Zoo's site but just look the fotos
General view of the center of living butterflies exposition
Left corner with the feeding table 1
Right corner
First of the hatched butterflies (monarchus) were feeding on the table.
Some more of others in the incubator (Caligo memnon and Morpho peleides)

Another part of the excibition - some little arthropodan display (general view)
Some individual enclosures:
of Blaberus craniifer
of Pandinus cavimanus
of diplopodae
============
Anf finally some dry arthropods parts (this collection were from the famous "Tula Zooexotharium" which known by its incredible collection and achievements in snakes).
