Sevilla HBridge.jpg

SEVILLA BAMBOO HANGING BRIDGE

* 43 min (22.4 km) via Tagbilaran City - Corella - Sikatuna - Loboc Rd and Sevilla - Sikatuna Rd
* 57 min (30.3 km) via Corella - Balilihan Provincial Rd and Sevilla - Balilihan Provincial Rd
 

@ Sevilla Town 

 

Bamboo Hanging Bridge can be found in the town of Sevilla, Bohol. It is situated 36-kilometer east of                                                                                            Tagbiliran City. This bridge is made of bamboo, and the bridge handles are made of steel. The bridge is                                                                                          quite long, about 40 meters, and looks very flimsy but it's not. It can bear the weight of several persons,                                                                                        and sometimes, small motorcycles cross it. It was originally made for locals crossing the Sapitan River, but                                                                                      it became one of the well-liked attractions in the province, maybe because of the fun and adventure that                                                                                      you could feel while crossing on the bridge. That is why it is mostly visited by both local and foreign                                                                                              tourists. The bridge is swaying and bouncing every time someone is crossing. Well, that's the adventure!

 

                                                                         The bridge has become more exciting and challenging when you meet someone coming towards you                                                                                             because the bridge gets more shaky. But today, there are two bridges in the area made for each direction                                                                                       to lessen the fear and traffic when crossing the bridge. Children who are crossing the bridge need an older                                                                                     guide so that there wouldn't be an accident. The area is very beautiful covered with lush of greenery.

                                                                         It possesses a stunning view overlooking the Sapita River. Before you cross, you need to pay about P 10.00

                                                                         as an admission fee. Visitors are still advised to put much attention and watch every step when crossing the                                                                                   bridge. Near the area, souvenir items are for sale. There are also stores in the area where you can buy snacks

                                                                         and drinks. (source: vigattintourism.com )

BUTTERFLY GARDENS AND SANCTUARIES

​

Butterflies are insects in the macrolepidopteran clade Rhopalocera from the order Lepidoptera, which also includes moths. Adult butterflies have large, often brightly coloured wings, and conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprises the large superfamily Papilionoidea, which contains at least one former group, the skippers (formerly the superfamily "Hesperioidea") and the most recent analyses suggest it also contains the moth-butterflies (formerly the superfamily "Hedyloidea"). Butterfly fossils date to the Paleocene, which was about 56 million years ago.

Butterflies have the typical four-stage insect life cycle. Winged adults lay eggs on the food plant on which their larvae, known as caterpillars, will feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimes very rapidly, and when fully developed, pupate in a chrysalis. When metamorphosis is complete, the pupal skin splits, the adult insect climbs out, and after its wings have expanded and dried, it flies off. Some butterflies, especially in the tropics, have several generations in a year, while others have a single generation, and a few in cold locations may take several years to pass through their entire life cycle.

​

Butterflies are often polymorphic, and many species make use of camouflage, mimicry and aposematism to evade their predators. Some, like the monarch and the painted lady, migrate over long distances. Many butterflies are attacked by parasites or parasitoids, including wasps, protozoans, flies, and other invertebrates, or are preyed upon by other organisms. Some species are pests because in their larval stages they can damage domestic crops or trees; other species are agents of pollination of some plants. Larvae of a few butterflies (e.g., harvesters) eat harmful insects, and a few are predators of ants, while others live as mutualists in association with ants. Culturally, butterflies are a popular motif in the visual and literary arts. (wikipedia)
