STAMP ISSUE:<br />
Nature Series -<br />
Butterflies<br />
DATE OF ISSUE:<br />
21 April 2010<br />
Butterflies are notable for their unusual life<br />
cycle with an egg stage, a larval caterpillar<br />
stage, an inactive pupal stage, and a spectacular<br />
metamorphosis into a familiar and colourful<br />
winged adult form.<br />
In this stamp issue, 4 butterfly species in<br />
Singapore, namely the Blue Glassy Tiger, the<br />
Common Birdwing, the Common Posy and the<br />
Tailed Jay are beautifully illustrated and featured.<br />
This stamp issue preludes the upcoming<br />
Butterfly Trail at Orchard Road. Spearheaded by<br />
the Nature Society (Singapore), supported by the<br />
National Parks Board and Singapore Environment<br />
Council, the 4km long trail starts at the gates<br />
of the Botanic Gardens, continues down Orchard<br />
Road and ends in Fort Canning Park.<br />
The trail is being billed as the first of its kind in<br />
the world and visitors will get specially produced<br />
maps to help them navigate and guide them to the<br />
butterfly hot spots.<br />
