Abstract
A new visualization method is found for investigating the complex ray dynamics of whispering gallery orbits inside the Bunimovich stadium. R egarding the whispering gallery as mirror cabinet, a fractal system of virtual images of the mirror walls is found which reflects the sensit ive dependence of the dynamic behavior on the initial conditions.
