Which is the world’s first butterfly garden in the airport?

Home to ever 1000 butterflies, the Butterfly Garden in Terminal 3 of Changi Airport Singapore is the world’s first butterfly garden in an airport. Designed as a tropical butterfly habitat with a profusion of flowering plants, lush greenery and a 6 metre grotto waterfall, the garden is home to butterflies from as many as 40 species. Educational corners and individual enclosures let visitors witness the breeding and feeding of butterflies at close range.

One of the main attractions of the garden is the Common Rose Butterfly, otherwise known by its scientific name of ‘Pachliopta Aristolochiae Asteris’. This butterfly, with red dots and white streaks on its wings, was crowned Singapore’s national butterfly by the Nature Society of Singapore in 2015.
