Originally, I set up some planters on my deck and designed them into little habitats. One year it grew to 110! I have seriously pared it back since then. The reality is it's a lot of work. They bring me a lot of pleasure, too and guests seem to enjoy exploring them, but now I just put out a sampling every year. This year it's around 45 species. A couple share a space, but most have their own little ecosystem.
I will list the species I have out by continent and share some images of them here. Again, this is about 30% of the total number of species, and many of the group displays only contain a portion of the total number of models I have for that species.
