Open to the Public
Butterfly Hill in Pulau Ubin lives up to its name! On good weather days, the hill is alive with many fluttering wings of our lovely native butterflies. The ‘Tiger’ butterflies are usually represented by the Blue Glassy Tiger, Dark Glassy Tiger and Plain Tiger. On one rare occasion even the Yellow Glassy Tiger, probably from Malaysia, made a dash over!
However, another rare butterfly more frequently encountered on the hill today is the Dwarf Crow presumed extinct but was re-discovered in 2002. Other captivating butterflies include the Common Rose, classified as ‘near threatened’ in Singapore’s updated Red Data book (online version). It was crowned Singapore’s National Butterfly by the public in a popular online vote ran by NSS’ Butterfly & Insect Group in 2015.
Time permitting, we may also explore the Sensory Trail area.
