HS Barlow's moths and butterflies collection at Genting Tea Estate

One of the highlights of our trip to Genting Tea estate was the viewing of HS Barlow's lepidoptera collection - in wood cases specially made for the estate....90% of the butterflies and moths were collected from within the 95-acre compound of the estate.
