This used to hold Hingeback tortoises but now holds Atlas moths in transition (always forget what it's called)
 
@Mr Gharial Metamorphosis?

How much of Jungola does Butterfly Temple take up, and is it the only part of the building with free-ranging species?
 
@Kalaw

Not quite metamorphosis, it's an object. You know: Caterpillar --> (thing) --> Butterfly

Also: Jungola isn't a building. Wildlands is separated into three (outdoor) regions: Nortica, Serenga, and Jungola. Within Jungola, there are two greenhouses. The butterfly temple in the beginning, and Rimbula (the big greenhouse) at the end (or in the middle, depending on how you look at it).

In the butterfly temple there are Black-naped fruit doves. Palawan peacock-pheasants, Crested wood partridges, a single White-cheeked turaco, Ricordi’s robber frogs, Cuban brown anoles, Giant spiny stick insects, African giant millipedes, Congo chafer beetles, and around 15 species of butterfly free-roaming.

In Rimbula, the bigger greenhouse, there's slightly over 30 free-roamers, as well as a separated bird area with 8 additional free-roamers
 
@Mr Gharial Thank you for responses, it was indeed Rimbula that I was thinking of, and free-ranging millipedes and stick insects sound excellent - can't think of any other zoo that has them in a walkthrough space! Chrysalis, perhaps?
 
@Kalaw

Chrysalis, that's the thing!

Wildlands actually also has free-roaming African giant land snails in their big greenhouse, which are surprisingly visible!
