Singapore Butterfly and Insect Kingdom

Singapore Butterfly & Insect Kingdom Highlights

Butterfly and Insect Kingdom is perhaps Sentosa Island’s most vivid area and this insectarium is truly a world of delicate beauty. Its butterfly park, modeled like an outdoor conservatory, is home to around 1,500 live butterflies of more than 50 species that include both common and rare assortments.

With beautiful butterflies freely flying around you, this area is similar to a tropical forest. Equally noteworthy in this section is Pupa House – a glass exhibit where the butterfly pupae are preserved to give you an idea about the metamorphosis of butterflies.

Housed within a 70m-long cave is Insect Safari Tunnel that conserves numerous intriguing insects in their natural habitat, such as the large Dynastes Hercules beetle, diving beetle, giant scorpions and giant millipedes. The first of its kind in the world, its significant insect collections also include fireflies that form the major highlight of Firefly Enclosure Show.

In addition to butterflies and insects, there is a lot more to see in Butterfly and Insect Kingdom. For instance, the park has an aviary that has some of the world’s most striking jungle parrots on display as well as an area exclusively dedicated to reptiles such as lizards and snakes.

Another segment of the insectarium is the Insect Kingdom Museum, where ‘Insect Revolution’ exhibits throw light on the history of insects’ evolution as well as several million-year-old insect fossils. The park conducts stage shows twice a day in order to enable visitors to get better acquainted with insects, birds and reptiles.
