Garden and Educational Tour - Tampines Changkat Butterfly Garden

I apologized for the slower post last few weeks. June holiday is always a busy period for me and I have fallen very sick. To get a fresh breathe of life, nothing is more enchanting than having beautiful butterflies fluttering around you in all their different colors (I heard that Singapore MOE is switching to US English).


Tampines  Changkat Butterfly Garden is maintained with the support of the government by a group of 100+ volunteers, of which about 10 are active.


During my visit to the Tampines Changkat Butterfly Garden, the enthusiasts are very kind in explaining to us and more importantly show us the life cycle of the butterflies.


 I was shown the egg laying process, the caterpillar stage (The caterpillar does not bite, so you can safely hold it in your hand) and the cocoon stage. I was told different species of butterflies have different preferences on the species of plant to lay their eggs!


The most magical movement was when I release one of the butterflies grown in one of the enthusiast home into the Garden.
