Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom has been one of the attractions I enjoyed when I was a kid, and I am glad that it is still around. Located at Imbiah Lookout @ Resorts World Sentosa, this attraction is super easy to get to now - one may take a cab, or the Sentosa Monorail (board from Vivocity level 3). Look for the "Imbiah" station, and take the escalator all the way up to the top, past Madame Tussauds and Singapore Imagery Museum - voila, we have arrived.

The Butterfly Park is a beautiful tropical rainforest surrounded by lush greenery, with vantage points and man-made bridges - the perfect location to discover exotic species of butterflies as they flutter from one plant to another. One may also sight the pre-stages of these beautiful butterflies - such as the pupae form, caterpillars or even the eggs on branches. It was a pretty education refresher for me.

There are also parrots and these super huge, rare-breed Victoria Crown Pigeons wandering the park, making for a lovely discovery.  I also saw Scorpions and Stick Insects but they didn't come out too nicely in photos so I shall not post them. Meet Blink Blink the adorable Iguana as well.

Look at the beautiful species of butterflies here - these are all real preserves of dead butterflies, still glamorous as ever. Do you know that the average lifespan of a butterfly is a mere 60 days? I feel it's incredibly short for such gorgeous creatures.

Moving on, there is also a stunning display of Beetles, preserved and made into art pieces on display around the museum within the Insect Kingdom itself. To be frank, I was never a fan of Beetles but looking at this colorful range of beetles here, I could not help but fall in love. Look at the exquisite and intricate display on some of their bodies - some of them are even iridescent!

I enjoyed myself very much at The Butterfly Park and Insect Kindgom, and find this attraction to be utterly enriching and informative. I never appreciated nature more than today. Thank you Diana and team for invite, for hosting, and showing me around.
