Butterfly House....

Heyy,  so I know its been a long time since I posted anything, been very busy the past few weeks, some of you might know I've been to Australia for a friend's wedding and so decided to make a holiday out of it and go for a little longer than just the few days (rather a long way to go just for a weekend!). Anyways, so the next few posts and reviews will be on what I have seen and been doing over there animal and conservation wise, but might add a small part about sight seeing and anything else I find interesting. 

So my first thought was to write a review on the butterfly house I visited in Singapore on my travels to Australia. This butterfly house was situated within the Changi Singapore airport, which is the first ever house within an airport, and I thought it was quite an interesting idea!

This butterfly house was pretty big, it had two levels leading to both floors of the airport. It was very well laid out, it had many species of plants and trees for the butterflies, and also had many information signs inside the house to educate visitors about butterflies, their species and how they evolve from caterpillars.


Below is some pictures of the butterflies I took at the Airport, I couldn't get any pictures of the layout as I didn't have much time and as usual my camera wouldn't focus (which always seems to happen these days!).

Anyways, this butterfly house is brilliant! I feel this butterfly house is one of the better houses, it doesn't come far from the top of the list from those I have seen, and so I cannot compare it to any other house. What I can say, is that the airport staff do take care of their butterflies, they allow them to fly freely as there is plenty of space and they provide the butterflies with plenty of food. 

So all in all this butterfly house is definately worth a visit if anyone ever gets the chance to visit Singapore and the Changi Airport.
