Butterfly Walk at Alexandra Hospital
Butterfly Trail with Gan Cheong Weei (9754-4174)
Meeting place: Carpark in front of Alexandra Hospital
cafeteria.
Time: 9.30 am.
This is one of the best place in Singapore
to observe butterflies. Species commonly encountered here include the
very urbanised Lime Butterfly, the very graceful and seductive Painted
Jezebel, the diminutive and fast-flying Common Tit, the black and white
Common Mormon, the slow and easy Blue Glassy Tiger and the Autumn Leaf,
a foreign export that has settled down well here. If we are lucky, we
may spot visitors from the forest — species like Green Baron and Ambon
Onyx
The walk will last about three hours.
